Focusing on the representation of desire in La Regenta, Alison Sinclair offers a psychoanalytic exploration that uncovers the complexities of sexual desire and adultery within the narrative. She posits that the novel's surface conceals deeper ontological insecurities related to desire. By integrating modern psychoanalytic theory with the social and medical norms of the era, Sinclair argues that the adultery plot serves as a coded reflection of repressed and thwarted desires, urging readers to look beyond conventional interpretations.
