Abstract
This study examined how characters in Ayobami Adebayo's Stay with Me demonstrate the dimensions of human consciousness and the nature of the human mind using psychoanalytic theory. This study is limited to Adebayo Ayobami Stay with Me (2017). It focused on exploring the psychological lens of the main characters. This study employed psychoanalytic theory to analyze how unconscious desires, fears, and conflicts shape the characters’ behaviors and relationships in Stay with Me . The study aimed to apply these psychoanalytic principles specifically to examine the unconscious motivations, internal psychological struggles, and defense mechanisms employed by the novel’s main characters, particularly Yejide and Akin.
