Abstract : The aim of this article is to unravel further what the book Waiting for the Barbarians written by J. M. Coetzee
(1982) is saying about the human psyche and how the novel criticizes imperialism. By locating its concern on the issues of
morality and violence and exploring the limits of human cruelty this paper argues that Waiting for the Barbarians challenges
humanity and imperialism in several ways. Presenting a psychoanalytic discussion of Waiting for the Barbarians this study
focuses on the impact of fear on the human psyche and imperialism's self-destructive power. How far fear and anxiety can
go? How far members of society can follow a blind power? These are the main concerns of this essay that tries to interpret
the allegories created in relation to the tensions raised by Coetzee.
