Although Lacan says it is rarely what, however, this does not mean that it is only a theoretical hypothesis of the matter, or that is just a reference only. On the contrary, it does exist. It is a mirror from birth to early, baby can not know the difference between don't own and others, not only the integrity of the self concept, "need" to dominate his ideas. It is broken suddenly dreaming imagination and symbolic rule. At that moment the real super reality, the other rule of failure, as the main body of the pseudo mask off, people become an empty one. Trauma. 

In O Conner's novels, both elusive and mysterious reality and the realm of the gods. In the modern commercial society, people pay no attention to the spirit of faith, God, but there is no doubt that the mystery of God still exists. In the novel, a sacred Jesus hints throughout the novel. Uncle died, Tarwater drunk after seeing "cloud twitching in the dark sky, shaking the pink moon walking in the clouds between the bumps. This is because he suddenly observed - the sky is down. And when the tower Voight second times to Uncle house, aware of the stars there," they seemed to him the skull The holes in the bones, the distant and steady rays of light passing through them, were watching him. "In the novel, these represent the existence of the real." 

Lacan, to enter the reality, must give up its recognition. It also means giving up language, only people dead or crazy to enter the reality. In the idiot boy died, Tarwater began performing aphasia pantomime in silence he endured the suffering soul. Later, when to give him a lift the truck driver and his conversation, Talwar opened his mouth to speak, but could not say a word. He began to show that the loss of language into the real. When he was raped by a stranger, he set fire to the woods, his eyes no longer appear dry holes. This means that Tarwater was born to see Buford in the head Bao. Tarwater, think in addition to eyes, the rest of the boy's body seems to be dead. "This suggests that the physical body is dead. When Tarwater Tarwater realized he desire Jesus, know that they have become wandering in the violent country prophet. Tarwater spiritual rebirth, get rid of the trouble, get the call of God, no longer is the ordinary people of this barren spirit state. Eventually, Tarwater reached the real, found the mother Jesus. 

According to Lacan's three, we can see that the object of desire is the mother of Jesus Tarwater. As the imaginary homeland, his uncle as a self imagination, that grew up will become a prophet. Due to the change of external environment, cast doubt on the identity of the imagination, Jesus. After Tarwater to half believe and half doubt, symbolizing the fallen American Southern culture in the city, the symbolic law refused to represent the father of consumerism and materialism tarnishing his soul. Through a variety of ways refused or away from God, constantly resist established their own destiny. At the same time, from the root deep imagination identity is still in play. Therefore, the main Tarwater wandering In the imaginary and symbolic, experiencing the pain of suffering, it is difficult to extricate themselves. A mother becomes the object of desire, Jesus's desire to continue to erode the symbolic violence. Only by way of people to achieve salvation. Tarwater gradually realize, realize his desire for Jesus, in the violence and the help of aphasia, enter the real, realized the unity of the subject and the same, the final completion of self salvation.ying
