The other day i was watching the television and on the history channel they had a special on Ancient Greece and mentioned something about an "Oedipus complex." I did not completely understand what they were talking about so I researched it and this is the simplest definition that i came up with....
" The Oedipus Complex - Dr. Sigmund Freud named this condition after one of the key meanings in the play. In Oedipus, the main character (Oedipus himself) kills his father and marries his mother. The meaning of the Oedipus complex is a boy's natural sexual feelings for his own mother. This is shown at birth and in normal human behavior, is broken up after years of aging. "
ps. Ms. D said she was gonna make us write an essay on it next week!
