  • Shakespeare Hamlet Oedipus Complex
    2,640 words
    For this paper I have decided to include information about both readings we have covered. We read William Shakespeare's Hamlet and Sophocles' Oedipus the King. Through reading both stories and by doing outside research I learned something interesting. This was that a Freudian theory was named for a few of the scenes in Oedipus the King and that this theory was also connected to Hamlet. This theory is known as the "Oedipus Complex" and when explained can provide a lot of insight into the interpre...

  • Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Oedipus Complex
    1,621 words
    William Shakespeare's Hamlet has always provided literary critics with a rich source for character analysis. This source has grown as critics no longer evaluate Hamlet as an artistic representation limited to the depth of which the author characterizes him but rather evaluate him as a living human being (Lowers 10). As the scrutiny on Hamlet the human being has intensified, many people have been called to wonder if Hamlet is insane. Before trying to answer this question, it should be considered ...

  • Analysis Of The Closet Scene In Hamlet Movie

    Hamlet is often seen as one of the most well known examples of an Oedipus Complex presented in literature. The reasons for this is probably because of the plot that resolves around the revenge that Hamlet has against his step-father Claudius and because of the relationship that Hamlet has with his mother that is loaded with sexual energy. Hamlets love for his mother is especially exemplified by the Mel Gibsons interpretation of the infamous closet scene. Traditionally a Queens closet was not wor...
