The purpose of this study is to examine the aspects of the ‘Splitting of the Subject’ in Christopher Marlowe’s Tamburlaine the Great in terms of the Lacanian Psychoanalysis Theory. A renowned theorist of human passions, Lacan maintains that human desire is in fact a structured subconsciousness as Saussure proposes the language is. Human subject is the crucial matter of Lacanian psychoanalysis. In this context, Christopher Marlowe is a great Renaissance dramatist who dramatizes the conflicts between unlimited human aspirations and the limitations of reality. In Tamburlaine the Great, Marlowe displays powerful emotions with embellished poetic languages and intense dramatic sequences. As a careful organizer of dramatic language, he is keenly aware of the fact that human language is structured to manifest the speaker’s subconscious desire. Hence Tamburlaine’s dramatic world may be justly interpreted by Lacan’s view of the ‘Splitting of the Subject.’ In Lacanian paradigm, the splitting subject reveals by self-identification and alienation. For Lacan, psychoanalysis concerns itself primarily with understanding human speech, while linguistics, rhetoric, and poetics are its indispensable correlatives. In Tamburlaine the Great, Tamburlaine’s poetic language and Lacan’s paradigm in relationship between human speech and the splitting subject are discussed in this paper.
