First, using the LCCC Databases: EBSCO, Proquest, Gale et al. research the life of the famous Austrian neurologist and psychologist Sigmund Freud. Because literature is the study of human nature, Freud often developed many of his theories about human development and human behavior
after he had read a famous short story, novel, or play. One of his most famous and most controversial theories is the Oedipus complex he created while reading this play. Read the famous interpretation of this play by Sigmund Freud on pg. 1276. In your paper, research Freud, and include some brief but pertinent information about what you learned about his interesting life.
Next, briefly explain the famous Oedipus complex Freud created after reading this play. Do you agree with Freud’s theory? Last, thoroughly discuss this question: What are your feelings about Oedipus at the end of the play? Use textual evidence in the form of paraphrases and quotes to support your assertions: examples from the play.
