Is Oedipus Oedipal? Article and Writing Prompt
What is the Oedipal Complex? The Oedipal complex is a term used by Sigmund Freud in his theory of psychosexual stages of development to describe a boy's feelings of desire for his mother and jealously and anger towards his father. Essentially, a boy feels like he is in competition with his father for possession of his mother. He views his father as a rival for her attentions and affections.
Major Aspects of the Oedipal Complex The Oedipal complex occurs in the phallic stage of psychosexual development between the ages of three and five. The phallic stage serves as an important point in the formation of sexual identity. The analogous stage for girls is known as the Electra complex in which girls feel desire for their fathers and jealousy of their mothers. http://img01.deviantart.net/f8c2/i/2013/054/d/5/oedipus_complex_by_marvipacete-d5vy3yo.jpg
