Abstract

The study examines John Bowlby's The Attachment Theory in Patricia Highsmith's The Talented Mr. Ripley (1955). The Talented Mr. Ripley is the first novel in a series of five novels known as Ripley novels. The theory investigates the adverse effects When a youngster is deprived of a mother's care, moreover, Bowlby is particularly interested in the ways in which the child's personality changes over time due to the kind of bonds with his/her caregiver. A close link between a newborn and its caregiver is essential for a child's proper development, according to Bowlby. On the other hand, a distorted link between the newborn and his/her caregiver leads to neurosis. Psychologists are examining the character of Tom Ripley from Patricia Highsmith to discover the ways in which mental health is affected by his absence of an effective caretaker. The attachment theory offers a useful framework for figuring out how early life experiences influence a person's development.
