RE: Freud and the Oedipus Complex
I wish I could find the article to link, but if you search for it, I believe you could find it. In the article, I read that though many believe that Freud was heavily influenced by Oedipus, you see more of a correlation to his thought process with the story of Hamlet, by Shakespeare. It stated Freud's Oedipus complex should actually be called the "Hamlet Complex".
It sounds interesting, I will search for it , thank you :)
@godflesh this was the article. It states Oedipus's influence is a misnomer. It should be called the hamlet complex.
