Mulder and his Anima - part I

(this is an extract from my "Mulder Project",a huge essay about Mulder that I'm writing since 2003)

-"I’m free..."
Mulder,Closure-

Mulder is only 12 years old when the mysterious disappearance of his younger sister, with very dark circumstaces, upsets domestic establishment of all his family.
To explain the younger sister figure, I used the Jungian theory of Syzygy (Divine Couple) that beholds the alchemic couple Brother-Sister too.
Sister, in some Balkan fairy tales, mysteriously disappears and her brother/hero starts to look for her.
According to psychoanalysis, the brother/hero is in search of the his Self, possibly made by a trasfert in the female figure that replaces the maternal figure, too weak to be considered as Anima in Mulder’s inconscious(Teena Mulder seems to have been too far from her sons.After the shock is more far from Fox, among barbiturics and depression).
Mulder, bereft of Sam, starts to look for her but, besides the obvious reason of a love between brother and sister, he looks for his deep to cut out a definite and autonomous figure.
Apparently Sam rises into the air,and so she goes away from the primordial, homely world, from the “indistinct of Mother”.

The same tale tell us that sister is held captive by the Old, who clearly recalls Spender Sr,who took away Sam by means of hypnosis. Mulder has to draw back the whole stuff from removed that has left just a remaining, sense of guilty, expressed by the great guilty to be survived to disappeared sister that really symbolizes two orders of guilty:
1)don't look for Self –2) don't rise like Self.
We can immagine Mulder as teenager and after as a very depressed boy.
Squashed by sense of guilty,it is possible that he doesn’t consider himself like active, useful: looking for Sam and finding her has became his profession.
Before his studies were addressed towards psychology cause of his desire to explain removed acts but always in the shadow of inconscious.
His profession is to inquire into paranormal, believing in it, but it involves to inquire into e and to grieve for crimes against children, like a compensation (if I resolve and jail the murderer, I resolve and jail Sam’s murderer and kidnapper), but also like masochist behaviour of infinite repetition of shock.

About "Paper hearts".
In his dream little girl who benigs on him to find her body, expresses him intuitive nature... typically who knows the Soul has related to occult and perception.
Even when Mulder meets Sam (presented again and again by Cancer man to affirm his own power on hero’s and his sister’s life and death) you can realize that these meetings just sharpen Mulder’s sense of guilty and repeat the shock of separation in his inconscious.
Mulder repeats again and again love between his sister and him by the X-files. If he will continue to look for her he will become Self, become complete.
Because if he will find his Anima, the male archetype of Self, he will be free from senses of guilty.
When Mulder knows that he’s the subject of aliens’ abduction, he goes on this path of recognizing of Self.
Believing this abduction, removing it, means starting a total formulation Self.
In "Sein und zeit" there is the solution to Mulder’s release from mother and from sister (biological mother by her siucide lets him to understand, alone, the abduction of the second female figyre in his life).
Then in "Closure" Mulder imagines to find Sam alive, in an idealized teen-age, in a suspended, unreachable but reconciled world.
And this is what Mulder is looking for: a perfect world, without pain, that would give back to past and to figures (connected to the time that’s definitively gone by), bliss, completeness, happyness he would like to come true for himself ando also for Sam.
