Freud is not the only way to read Shakespeare, but it is a useful way sometimes, and if your instructor wants to do it that way, go along with it. The best case for the approach is a book called either PSYCHOANALYSIS AND SH or SH AND PSYCHOANALYSIS (I forget which) by Norman O. Holland. Read it and impress your prof. Incidentally, the idea that Hamlet lusted after his mother is a gross oversimplification of what the Freudians really say. And, incidentally, Fellini never did Hamlet, did he?Posted by Hamlet on March 20, 1997 at 09:12:28
