1. The Regression to Infantile States (Freudian Lens)
Apu’s childish syntax ("hewp pls") and misshapen form enact a regression to an earlier developmental stage—a return to the oral or anal stage of Freud’s psychosexual model. His language is preverbal or semi-verbal, suggesting an infantile subject not yet fully acculturated into the adult Symbolic order (more on this with Lacan below).
This regression appeals because it promises a release from the burdens of adult subjectivity: responsibility, coherence, social performance. To identify with Apu is to long for a prelapsarian innocence, to cradle the ego in a blanket of helplessness. In this helplessness there is also power: the power to elicit care, attention, or indulgence from others, without the burden of agency.
