This site was very good in giving me insight into the basics of psychology. I looked at the Freud category mostly because he is a big name and his theories were pretty easy to understand. Applying it to my paper, I used his ideas and descriptions of the id, ego and superego in an attempt to correctly justify the main character’s actions and reasons for doing what he did.
Freud and Dreams. Freud Museum in London. 1998.

This was one of the nicer pages I visited to find info about dreams and the significance of them. I really liked the way the site explained Freud’s theories behind what dreams are and what they represent. I used a lot of this in the dreams I tried to recreate in the story attempting to make them seem as realistic as possible.
Rowell, Maria Helena. The Freud Page. 1998.

This was another great place for information on Freud’s theories. I learned a lot about the conscious, preconscious, and unconscious minds. From here, I tried to figure out ways of masking which mind was in control during the story with the shifting dreamscapes and rapid changes in consciousness.
Jung, Carl G. Anatomy of a Dream. 1997.

In an attempt to get another opinion on what dreams are and how they function, I looked to this page. I found some very useful information about what causes dreams and what manifestations result in the conscious mind from them. I used this to try and tie his dreams to his everyday happenings. Also, I tried to relate this info to how his dreams were related to what was happening to him while conscious.
Murdoch's A Severed Head, the novel's protagonist Martin Lynch-Gibbon sustains a series of revelations which force him to become more aware of the realities of his life. This essay will examine how Murdoch infuses the novel with elements of Freudian psychology to develop Martin's movement from the unconscious to reality. Shifting Relationships With the novel's opening and rapid progression from one event to the next, the reader quickly comes to realize that its narrator, Martin Lynch-Gibbon, is
question of how these soldiers were supposed to recover from these horrors. For Dr. W.H.R. Rivers, there was only one answer -- psychology. On page 29, a patient of Rivers' named Anderson tells Rivers, "That's what you Freudian Johnnies are on about all the time, isn't it? Nudity, snakes, corsets." Freudian therapy is also alluded to on pages 31 and 46, although Freudian methods of analyzing dreams, recognizing symbols, and understanding the unconscious are constants. Rivers helps to bring the traumatized
Cassidy Pinder Room 403 Mrs. Rossi 3/10/14 Freudian Psychology in the Lord of the Flies Throughout the novel the Lord of the Flies by William Golding Freudians theory of the Id, the Ego and the Superego is prevalent. The Id represents the human instinct superego represents ones morals and the Ego balances the needs of both the Id and the superego. The novel the Lord of the Flies shows the importance of balance between the three sides of the psyche. It is shown through the book that in order to
narrator, while travelling from cognizant rational reasoning to subconscious dissociated reality progresses through three stages. In the first stage, the narrator is in touch with reality; she lives and exists in a state of mind known in Freudian psychology as the Ego. The Ego is defined as "the element of being that consciously and continuously enables an individual to think, feel and act." (Barnhardt, 667). The ego is based on a reality principle, in which, a person reacts in "realistic ways
was born in York, England, and later became and American citizen. Auden was the founder for a generation of English poets, such as C. Day Lewis, and Stephen Spender. Auden’s earlier works were composed of a Marxist outlook with a knowledge of Freudian Psychology. Later works consisted of professing Christianity, and what he considered “increasing conservatism”. In 1946 Auden emigrated and became an American citizen. While in America he composed many verse plays, travel memoirs, and Opera lyrics. His
late 1800s through early 1900s, a Doctor based out of Vienna, named Sigmund Freud, developed a theory based on the events of the play Oedipus Rex, which has since been coined the "Oedipus Complex." Ernest Jones also applied his knowledge of Freudian psychology and wrote a persuasive paper suggesting that Hamlet cannot kill his uncle Claudius because of his repressed feelings for his mother. In the story of Oedipus Rex, Oedipus fulfills a prophecy given to him, by killing his father Laius and by sleeping
of this paper to show the evolution of these monsters from medieval fairy, to subterranean miner, to Sauron’s horde of minions, and into other various modern-day incarnations. Additionally, the cultural driving forces of feminist theology, Freudian psychology, political agendas, and technological fears will be used to explain several of the more notable goblin literary works. Finally, it will be shown how the medieval concept of the goblin, the fairy trickster, will resurface after a hundred years
Oral stage (0-1-years-old). Fouché and Holz (2015) explained why Freud believed, a parent’s behavior helps to shape the child’s personality, whether positively or negatively. During this stage, an infant learns to love, pleasure, and displeasure while being nourished through their mouths. Likewise, the Oral stage seems to have the greatest impression for healthy development and attachments, forming unhealthy habits (e.g., eating disorders and substance abuse), and becoming productive adults (Knight
identity of his mother in response to a strange attachment that he has to her, as Norman himself says, “a boy’s best friend is his mother,” and that his mother is his “trap” that he “was born into,” it appears that Hitchcock’s lifelong interest in Freudian psychology is very intense in that Norman Bates had an Oedipus complex. If this is true, Psycho contains the emasculation of Norman at the hands of a woman, who happens to be his mother. The idea that Norman Bates remained in love with his mother and
I. THE PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT PROCESS: 1. Nature of humans; structure of the personality: a. Freud’s theory stated that the structure of the personality is based off three systems, the id, the ego and the superego. b. The id is present at birth and revolves around pleasure seeking, instinct and the reduction or elimination of pain. In the id phase there is no conscious awareness only unconscious behavior. c. The ego acts as the reality principle, its goal is to find ways to logically and realistically
True Feelings in Billy Collins' Taking Off Emily Dickinson's Clothes Upon first look, Billy Collins “Taking Off Emily Dickinson’s Clothes” seems to be a wild fantasy for Emily Dickinson that he is entertaining. Upon closer examination, however, the poem reveals his subconscious desire to have sex with his mother and his frustration about his inability to do so, resulting in the displacement of his sexual desires onto Dickinson. From the beginning, Collins is very detailed with his description
During Hamlet, William Shakespeare portrays Hamlet’s internal delusion that he is doing things for other reasons besides his long repressed Oedipus complex. Hamlet and Oedipus from Oedipus the King, by Sophocles, have surprising similarities which showcase Hamlet’s complex. ‘The Oedipus complex’ is a psychoanalytic theory which encompasses the idea of unconsciously desiring the parent of the opposite sex, while desiring to slay the parent of the same sex, which in Hamlet 's case would be Claudius

Personality Development According to Sigmund Freud, what we do and why we do it, who we are and how we became this way are all related to our sexual drive. Differences in personalities originate in differences in childhood sexual experiences. In the Freudian psychoanalytical model, child personality development is discussed in terms of "psychosexual stages". In his "Three Essays on Sexuality" (1915), Freud outlined five stages of manifestations of the sexual drive: Oral, Anal, Phallic, Latency, and
mischievous boy who distances himself from the torment of his home life by escaping with Jim, a runaway slave who is his only friend. As the novel continues, we find that the structure of Mr. Twain’s writing is redolent of certain aspects of Freudian psychology. More specifically, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn can be interpreted using the Oedipus complex ,which is one the defining works of Dr. Sigmund Freud. It basically states that a young male has an irrepressible subconscious desire to do away
