The master's thesis explores the parallels between love and subjectivity in the context of Lacan's psychoanalytic theory. Lacan’s thought shows that love is not a simple emotional connection, but a deeply structured position of the subject in relation to the Other, to language, and to lack. In love, the subject projects their desire onto the other while simultaneously seeking affirmation of their own value, wholeness, or missing coherence. Subjectivity is thus not formed outside the love relationship, but rather through the dynamics of desire, lack, and symbolic recognition. The theoretical framework includes key Lacanian concepts such as the mirror stage, the symbolic order, objet a, and sexual difference, with emphasis on how love functions as a site of recognition of the subject's phantasmatic position, but also as a point of destabilization of its symbolic coherence.
