The economical means of compressing these meanings into a new literary form through the use of the primary process mechanisms also makes the play an object of interest to the psychoanalyst who has listened to Ionesco's Orator. It has also been proposed that the synthesizing and integrating activity of the writer has ordered material made available to him through controlled regression to recreate a traumatic memory to represent Absurdity and to produce a many-layered work with coherent meanings about man's illusions. It is the despair inherent in the objectless state, and the primary process means through which this state is dramatized, that makes the work both a tragedy and a farce which is significant in the Theater of the Absurd and of interest to psychoanalysts. These thoughts are represented in the play's manifest content by the use of mechanisms that are most familiar from the study of dreams. It has been proposed that The Chairs contains latent thoughts which convey a state of psychic helplessness because of separation from the object who can provide satisfaction for instinctual drives.
