The literature on the topic of border wars (including the Northern Border War and the Southwestern Border War) is an important part that contributes to shaping the landscape of modern Vietnamese literature. In this article, we explore the war-related obsessions in two representative novels of this literary genre, Mình và họ (Nguyễn Bình Phương) and Hoang tâm (Nguyễn Đình Tú). Drawing on insights from psychoanalytic theory, we delve into the obsessions with the crimes of war, the loneliness of individuals during and after the war. Through this analysis, we gain a deeper understanding of issues related to human existence, spiritual life, and the relationship between the individual and society, as portrayed by the authors through their character representations.Downloads
