Oedipus complex

anything well how about like both maybe

okay well in regards to both feels like a lot to cover in one episode so just focusing on the oedipus thing i do actually sincerely think that whoever came up with the Oedipus complex, Freud, but clearly way back because they were doing it back in the ancient Greek times.

No. No.

Freud made a theory that

Please.

To you.

Oedipus complex.

Yes.

And the Irish Joyce was, in fact, the single biggest influence on the Welsh Dylan, whose beautiful play begins at the beginning on a spring moonless night in a small town, starless and Bible black.

the cobble streets silent and the hunched quarters and rabbits wood limping invisible down to the slow black slow black crow black fishing boat bobbing sea it's one of my favourite openings there but anyways the porters of the Bristol Inn dream through saturday night after presumably a very difficult working evening in which the guinness was flowing abundantly and they dream into sunday morning the sabbath day and we are granted privileged access to the dream world of this irish tavern master and mr porter is a rather perverse man, a rather twisted individual who is dealing with the universal anxiety, that of his inevitable mortality, his ever more apparent crawl towards death, and of course the upcoming Oedipal succession of his sons, of sons over their father.

This is a man who is not only suffering the deterioration of his married life with his wife, who no longer sexually excites him, but who is also obsessively and incestuously fixated on his daughter, Isabel.

And in his dreams, his perversions and obsessions, his desires and fears and guilts take shape.

But what's interesting is why did they pick this name for her when they wrote her originally? Well, Jocasta, the other famous Jocasta, is based off of Sophocles' ancient Greek play, Oedipus Rex.

You may have heard of it from its Oedipal Complex, if you've ever heard of Sigmund Freud's ideas.

So in that myth slash play, Laeus is the king of Thebes, marries Jocasta, who's like some high up, you know, there in the city as well.

So, um, he gets married.

And when they don't, that's pretty ugly.

And so the consequence, seriously, the consequence of delayed maturation and the abdication of the responsibility to heed that call of adventure, that's the Oedipal nightmare from the Freudian perspective.

It's a very bad thing.

It...

First, the Greek tragedy written by Sophocles, Oedipus Rex.

Second, Freud's Oedipal Complex.

Third, the change of her name from the masculine to the feminine.

Fourth, her surname, Mas.

As they are revealed to her, she will have a number of choices.

To blind herself to the truths in order to maintain her sanity, to lie to herself that the truth she is uncovering is something different than the truth, or to admit this apparent truth to herself outright.

Next, Freud's Oedipal Complex.

The basis of his complex originates within the mythological figure Oedipus, having fallen in love with and married his own mother.

It's not the explanatory mechanism, you're right.

The equivalent would be Freud's Oedipus Complex.

Okay.

Okay.
