Abstract
It is the rarity of murders committed by daughters on their mothers that leads to questioning on female symbolic matricide. While murders committed by sons are the foundation statements, we went on a quest to find the reason why the opposite feminine version is nowhere visible. Could this be the sign of a failure during the little girl’s developmental process of the girl becoming a woman? For that, we have investigated into various mythologies, the three main monotheist religions, common stories and as well as into some literary works.It has been necessary to re-examine, first the binding mother-daughter relationships, the woman-man relationships and to determine the role of the father in that failure. It is with the Prehistory that we have concluded our work, venturing the hypothesis of a primal fear that pushed the man to domesticate the woman. Feeling underestimated, the woman transmits a symbolisation barrier provoking the failure of the psychic matricide and its eternal recurrence.
