Anima: An Anatomy of a Personified Notion
[One may better understand the potency of Othello’s soldier persona in light of the following statements: The more masculine his [a man’s] outer attitude is, the more his feminine traits are obliterated: instead, they appear in his unconscious. This explains why it is just those very virile men who are most subject to characteristic weaknesses; their attitude to the unconscious has a womanish weakness and impressionability. (CW 6, 804/469)Outwardly an effective and powerful role is played, while inwardly an effeminate weakness develops in face of [sic] every influence coming from the unconscious. Moods, vagaries, timidity, even a limp sexuality (culminating in impotence) gradually gain the upper hand. (CW7, 308/194) Jung emphasizes this compensatory relationship between persona and anima by stressing that a man’s identification with a masculine “mask” determines the degree to which “he is delivered over to influences from within,” specifically “feminine weakness … for it is the anima that reacts to the persona.” Furthermore: “Everything that should normally be in the outer attitude, but is conspicuously absent, will invariably be found in the inner attitude. This is the fundamental rule” (CW 7, 308–9/194–95; 6, 806/469). The phenomenon occurs whether the mask is martial as in Othello’s case or intellectual as in Hamlet’s.]
