By interacting with other disciplines and examining some related media, this paper will utilise interdisciplinarity as well as intermediality to help better understand the evolution of the two characters. This dissertation will study the development of the two characters using the main psychodynamic theories, Psychoanalysis, Analytical Psychology and Individual Psychology. The focal principles of theorists Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung and Alfred Adler will be relied on throughout the study to help analyse the motives behind the two characters’ actions and change in personalities. Other cultural, social and political factors will also be considered.
