Abstract
All humans have the inherent ability to adjust themselves in the society in which they
live. But in the blind pursuit of placing themselves elatedly in the outer world, they
tend to forget as to who they really are. They dress up themselves in the masks of
certain roles overtly. The result is that in order to be acceptable to the social norms
and mores, they become what Jung would call persona-possessed; and thus they lose
touch with the essential being. This paper is an attempt to read Wordsworth’s poetry
as a way of liberating humans from their rigid personas in order to make them more
efficient, productive, healthy and peaceful individuals of the society.
