received made her want to spend more time with
herself and her children than making public
appearances, and thus she was looked upon as being
unfeeling and unconcerned with the Russian people.

In Sigmund Freud's The Future of an Illusion,
Freud suggests that humanity is driven by
instinctual wishes that they suppress, such as
incest, cannibalism, and a lust for killing. What
keeps humanity from acting upon these wishes, and
resulting in the break down of civilization, are
the moral laws of that civilization. In
European/Western civilization these moral laws are
based on religion, specifically Christianity and
Judaism. Religion creates a moral system by which

and husband. This was, quite frankly, tedious and
a waste of Dickens' effort to put some sentiment
into these chapters which are set in London, a
long way from the...
