Drichel explores how colonial narcissism—a pathological self-absorption rooted in imperial ideology—results not only in harm to colonized others but also in a profound existential disaster for the colonizer. Drawing on psychoanalytic theory and literary analysis, Drichel reframes narcissism as a failure of relationality rather than mere arrogance.
