Abstract

From the Medusa myth to the discussions proposed by Sigmund Freud in “Das Unheimliche” (1919), this work seeks to highlight the unheimlich in the anxiety linked to the figure of the automata. Thus, it calls attention to a topic little explored or even ignored by literary criticism, especially one that focuses on the theme of the double in the modern novel, to show the complex network of desires and frustrations that will connect the double and the automata in various modern works, in a single, deadly and disturbingly
unfamiliar nucleus.
