Three examples of his theories include, Oedipal Complex, the Trio (Id, ego, superego) and his theories on dreams that were discussed in his book, “The Interpretation of Dreams.” The Oedipal Complex is a child’s sexual interest in his or her opposite sex parent, typically resolved through identification with the same-sex parent. This theory goes on to claim that sons gain emotional and sexual attraction to their mother while also feeling anger towards their father (Feldman, 2011, G-6). When Freud published his theories, he “shocked the world by claiming that even infants had a sex drive and that, as in the Oedipus Complex, little boys became sexually fixated on their own mother, while viewing their fathers as hated sexual rivals to be defeated or killed off” (Sigmund Freud). Under Freud’s interpretation, dependency and rivalry became sex and violence (Kramer, 2006, p. 86). He concludes that it is the fate of all of us, perhaps to direct our first sexual impulse towards our mother, and our first hated and our first murderous wish against our father.
Amir’s Inner Turmoil Part A 1. At about the time Hassan was getting raped by Assef Amir, had a flashback of 2 different memories that in one suggests a brotherly relationship with Hassan because they “fed from the same breast.” While the other was of a time where they sought out the “truth” from a fortuneteller. The first memory is significant in that suggests a brotherly bond between the two and that Amir personally feels attracted to Hassan in a brotherly way but the fact that he is a Hazara and really wants Baba’s approval and love allows him to let Hassan get raped. On the other hand the second memory shows their past together when they seek the truth from a fortuneteller. This is significant in that it shows the difference in Hassan and Amir.
Freud’s castration theory exposes what it means to identify as masculine and struggle with masculinity on a deeply internal level, therefore deconstructing masculinity to its very foundations. Freud’s castration theory is found in his “Oedipus complex,” in which the theory is categorized by boys possessing a fear of castration and holding castration anxiety. Oedipus was a Greek tragedy written by Sophocles in which Oedipus kills his father to wed his mother. Freud analyzes

His sudden change in thought is all to do with the dead man’s three daughters. Because of how nice they are to Huck, Huck starts to feel as if he is the one that’s “letting him (the king) rob them (the girls) of their money” (Twain 147). This is the turning point of Huck’s straight path to hell as he calls it. From this point on Huck chooses the moral thing to do rather than what he has been conditioned to do. Huck Finn is like so many Americans.
Dahmar was molested as a child by his neighbor, which may be why he chose to inflict his crimes on men instead of women. He suffered from Schizophrenia. The divorce between his parents played a huge role in his feelings of abandonment and rejection. He suffered from pedophilia which might explain some of his sexual tendencies. He enjoyed having sexual acts with the dead corpse which would also be diagnosed as necrophilia.
More importantly, out of this theory was where Freud developed his concept of the Oedipus and Electra complexes. Originating from the Greek tragedy Oedipus Rex, these theories state that children are jealous or their same sex parent and desire to sexually be with the parent of the opposite sex. When boys discover the anatomical differences between males and females, they fear that females are castrated males and that their incestuous thoughts will cause their father to harm them (Freud, 1962). The superego intervenes and instead the boy tries to emulate his father to have a better chance of eventually winning his mother over. These complexes supposedly remain with individuals for life and one is continually trying to resolve this conflict in their adult relationships (Hall, 1954).
Oedipus Complex Disciplines > Psychoanalysis > Concepts > Oedipus Complex Description | Discussion | See also Description In the Oedipus complex, a boy is fixated on his mother and competes with his father for maternal attention. The opposite, the attraction of a girl to her father and rivalry with her mother, is sometimes called the Electra complex. Sexual awakening At some point, the child realizes that there is a difference between their mother and their father. Around the same time they realize that they are more alike to one than the other. Thus the child acquires gender.
