Psychological narrative and plays along with telling a
story examine the individual's sense of personal and cultural identity as well as the
formation and nature of memories. Some psychologists hold that these two psychological
components (identity and memory) are the integral nature of self. In Look Back
in Anger, Jimmy's paramount concern is his own sense of personal and cultural
identity. Moreover, his concern extends to English working class and lower class people
in general, although it could be argued that his concern is really an out-lashing
against his father's death, which was in a very real sense a culture-caused death since
he went as a freedom fighter to fight in the Spanish Civil War as so many English
idealists did. Further, the causes for Jimmy's thoughts, attitudes, and behavior is
directly attributed to memory, specifically, his memory of his father's agonized and
agonizing death from which Jimmy says he learned to be angry and helpless, something, he
says, that he can't forget.
