This “tigress” mother reminds us of Hanna wounding the young Michael by asserting that he is incapable of upsetting her because she does not care about him. Lacan explains that the source of aggressivity relates to the concept of the imago, to be discussed in detail later in this chapter. Here, it is sufficient to keep in mind that Lacan uses this term to describe the self emerging from its protective cocoon:

After the repeated failures of classical psychology to account for these mental phenomena [forms of aggressivity] […] psychoanalysts made the first successful attempts to operate at the level of the concrete reality that they represent. This was because they set out from their formative function in the subject, and revealed that if the transient images determined such individual inflexions of the tendencies, it is as variations of the matrices that those other specific images, which we refer to by the term imago, are constituted for the “instincts” themselves (Ecrits, 12).
