Freud and Owell

Sigmund Freud, founder of psychoanalysis had much to say on the operation of our psychology. With a close look at Winston Smith in 1984, we see many opportunities for parallels. Check out the diagram in class for a little overview of his ideas.

All of the following quotes belong to Sigmund Freud:
  • "Repression is the foundation on which the whole structure of psychoanalysis rests."
  • "Dreams are the royal road to the unconscious."
  • "Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and will come forth later in uglier ways."
Find a parallel in part 1 for each quote. No need for citations from 1984 for this one. Simply identify a chapter and explain in a few sentences and elaborate on similarities.

And a tough one:
  • "Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility."
You may have to interpret a little :)
