Problem
How does the author Claude Cahun, show in this quote from «Heroine» the surrealism in the feminine? What is happening, and what does the quote say about the moment of the artistic avant-garde and the emergence of art psychology (Freud specifically)? How is the unconscious shown in the quote? Consider that we do not know everything that happens in our brains (trauma that remains in us that we do not understand exactly).
Passage from Claude Cahun's "Heroines" manuscript:
They live their fantasies, destroy themselves at their pleasure and create only if it sings to them... Always vainly violated by the "True" (with its procession of stultifying sorrows or dreamless pleasures), but conscious of their weakness, they carefully avoid any sacrifice to the heavy machine of Glory which would crush them - so disproportionate to these victims, so ridiculous in short! They have the passion of Happiness; they have the mania of it, happiness so difficult for them so difficult that they will not hesitate to immolate to it their newborn genius (- already deformed. Society! your loss is not great). Only the delicate and yet unbreakable joy of children has seduced them. They will be voluntarily "childish" and will push back their maturity until death, if they can (Cahun, 101).
