Insane how a literary analysis from this century can be entirely based on psychoanalysis and freudian theory like how can I take anything of value from your conclusions
#HATE that psychoanalysis is so so prevalent in media studies#i get that theoretical approaches from the 70s were heavily based on freud#and as students we do have to understand his ideas to understand later theories ig#but are we still doing this??#you‘re really claiming this man‘s entire oeuvre is about his difficult relationship with his father#like there is no way someone applied their imagination to a fictional text#and it’s actually all subconsciously influenced by this author‘s actual life#ooh look he had a dream and wrote something based on that clearly that’s his unconscious reflecting his complex feelings about his father#where’s that post w the two poets pointing out that people insist on reading their work as autobiographical#instead of acknowledging them as works of art in their own right#just tell me about the relationship between the early Gothic and Shakespeare without speculating about walpole’s familial life
