The author sets out to delve into the dark side of Hope, the side that doesn’t illuminate but can block or prevent one from seeing both ex-ternal and internal realities. The author hypothesizes that, just as Eros and Thanatos are entwined together, so the relative passions of expec-tation-Hope and Fear-are kneaded and entangled to each other like ivy. An imbalance in the kneading can produce an alteration of either of the two passions of expectation. The object of study in particular is the fate of hope when fear is denied: the author believes that the hypertro-phy of Spes is a hallmark trait of hypermodern society and which makes the path towards a direction difficult. Through the presentation of two brief clinical cases, which the author considers exemplary of the deregulation of the Hope, we will explore the great hope that comes from a great expectation, that great hope that can get stuck in indiffer-entiation, suspension or repetition.
Keywords: hope, denial, fear, hypermodern society, hypertrophy of hope, passions of expectation.
