Huck Finn-critical
By some, Sigmund Freud is called the father of modern psychology. Sigmund Freud believed in four main ideas toward psychology. His ideas are (1) the id, (2) the superego, (3) the ego, and (4) Oedipus. The id is completely unconscience and is the primary source of all psychic energy and of all aggressions. The superego is largely unconscience as well. Freud believed it was the moral censoring agency and the advocate of perfection. The ego is mostly conscience. Freud believed the ego was the rational governing agency. The Oedipus is from Greek Mythology and includes the human's unconscience desires. Freud also thinks that sons are mad because they are not able to sleep with their mother as well as being jealous that they cannot have full attention from their mother because of their father. By using the Freudian method, one could criticize the time-honored novel, Huckleberry Finn. Three ideas that would support Sigmund Freud's psychological beliefs would include (1) the! river symbolizing Huck's mother, (2) the rebellion towards his father, and (3) Huck's search for a surrogate father. The river symbolizes Huck's mother because it gives him peace and tranquility. Huck's mother died when he was young and he has to practi
Like children being away from their mother's care, Huck finds trouble when he is off the river. Huck was not raised in accord with the accepted ways of civilization. T!he King and the Duke are con artists that try to fool Huck and Jim. Everyone thought Huck's father, Pap, had died, so Huck was put under Miss Watson and Widow Douglas's care. One can see that Jim begins to look after him as a father figure might do. In the end, Huck sees the Grangerfords annihilated by the Shepardsons. 11) However, after hearing that Huck had six thousand dollars, his father came back one night. Regardless, Huck functions as a much nobler person when he is not confined by the hypocrisies of civilization. Time went on and Pap began to beat Huck profusely and "I was all over welts. Huck writes a letter to Miss Watson saying he will return Jim, yet he ends up ripping the letter and instead, wi!shes to free him; "All right, then, I'll go to hell'-and he tore it up. All in all, one can see Sigmund Freud's beliefs in criticizing Mark Twain's classic novel. However, Huck would never turn his back on Jim at this point because he is his only family.
