Lars’s behavior can be explained best by the psychoanalytical approach, which is Freud's theory that attributes thoughts and actions to unconscious motives and conflicts. Lar’s personality may have been skewed based on the death of his mother at a very young age which had affected him growing up, as seen throughout the movie when he had trouble communicating with various female individuals. Along with this it is learned that after the death of his mother, Lar’s father distanced himself from Lar’s and his brother, Gus. It is also mentioned in the movie that Gus left home as soon as he was able to support himself, leaving Lars alone. From the psychoanalysis perspective we can determine that Lars’s personality is a result of his loneliness as a child. The defense mechanism of displacement can also describe his behavior. Displacement is a defense mechanism in which one shifts sexual or aggressive impulses toward a more acceptable or less threatening objector person. This can explain why Lars shifts his sexual feelings towards Bianca. The psychoanalytical approach best explains why Lars is unable to cope with his environment.
