- 121: Psychoanalysis Of Hamlet
- ... of what lies in the unconscious mind has been put there by consciousness, which acts as a censor, driving underground unconscious or conscious thoughts or instincts that it deems unacceptable. Censored materials often involve infantile sexual desires" (Murfin ). These unconscious desires are seen in dreams, in language, in creative activity, and in neurotic behavior (Murfin ). This theory of repression also is directly correlated to Freud's Oedipus complex. The Oedipus complex ... explaining that sexuality starts at infancy with the relationship of the infant with the mother, not at puberty. The Oedipus complex assesses that the infant has the desire to discard the father and become the sexual companion of the mother (Barry 97). In analyzing Hamlet, the Oedipus Complex is clearly apparent to the reader. As a child, Hamlet always expressed the warmest fondness and affection for his mother. This adoration contained ... longed for. The fact that Claudius was not only the victor o fhis mother's affections, but also his uncle, aggravated the situation. Their incestuous marriage thus resembles Hamlet's imaginary idea of having a sexual relationship with his mother. These unconscious desires are struggling to find conscious expression, without Hamlet being the least aware of them (Jones). As the play goes on, Hamlet encounters his father's ghost. Upon ...
- 122: David Copperfield: A Novel of Hypocrisy, Sexual Degradation, Selfish Exploitation, and Fraud
- David Copperfield: A Novel of Hypocrisy, Sexual Degradation, Selfish Exploitation, and Fraud "David Copperfield" is a novel of "Passionate jealousy sniveling hypocrisy cold hearted fraud, sexual degradation, selfish exploitation and much more; but the final impression is one of joy tempered and mellowed wisdom" Discuss. David Copperfield is probably one of the most successful novels of all time. I believe it ... suggested that both Heep and Littimer were in on things together. But luckily, with the help of Mr. Dick and the spiritous Miss. Mowcher they are both caught and put into Mr. Creakle's prison. 'Sexual degradation' is also portrayed and again I'd like to step back and point out how important it is that we understand that these describing terms apply to real life, and therefore if they ...
- 123: Song Of Myself
- ... that relationship. His exploration of human sensuality, particularly human sexuality, is the tool with which he integrates the spirit with the flesh. Key to this integration is Whitman's notion of the ability of the sexual self to define itself. This self-definition is derived from the strongly independent autonomy with which his sexuality speaks in the poem. Much of the "Song of Myself" consists of a cacophony of Whitman's different selves vying for attention. It follows that Whitman's sexual self would likewise find itself a voice. A number of passages strongly resonate with Whitman's sexuality in their strongly pleasurable sensualities. The thoroughly intimate encounter with another individual in section five particularly expresses Whitman ... the body thus becomes a natural, common pathway to divinity. This association to the cosmos, facilitated by a union of the spiritual and the corporal, is then a direct result of the expression of the sexual self. Whitman's choice of the word "reached" in "...And reach'd till you felt my beard, and reach'd till you held my feet," is a powerful image. It connotes not only a ...
- 124: The Detrimental Effects In Cha
- ... little recourse but to take their complaints directly to the Ministry of Housing, and file a lawsuit to be settled in the courts. If the proposed ‘Tenant Protection Act’ falls through, the sheer volume of harassment complaints are expected to be so numerous, that the lawsuits would put an unbearable strain on the legal system. In the anticipation of the overload, the Ministry of Housing has established a complaint line. The ... be made. Since there are no appeals, both parties would be expected to abide by the decision. If one party complains that the other has breached the ruling, the tribunal would send out their ‘anti-harassment unit’ to investigate and slap fines. Drive-thru justice? One-stop shopping? This ‘Band-Aid’ solution to the problem of tenant harassment will in no way protect tenants. Striping their legal right to have a say in a real court is only done to keep tenants out of the Minister’s hair. When asked about the ...

- 126: Women In The Fabliaux
- ... woman immediately wishes for working pricks on her husband s body. She does not wish for a better station in life, for wealth, good looks, or even for good health. Her first priority is her sexual appetite. Her husband is the voice of reason before she makes her wish. He knows that her wish will be sexual and he tells her they must consider all things carefully. She pays no heed to this warning and makes her sexual wish any way. This Fabliaux illustrates the thought that women were incapable of being rational, possibly because of their highly active imaginations, and that they had, in this case, sex on the brain. Again, ...
- 127: The Surprising Aspect Of Sex I
- ... Sex in Heller's Catch-22 Joseph Heller's humorist-war novel, Catch-22, has many surprising passages and themes. The part that is most surprising to me in Catch-22 is the amount of sexual connotation in a novel based around World War II. The question which has to be raised is, Is Catch-22 really about World War II? While this book is a fictious war novel, you get ... about something deeper than the war. It is about personal experiences of soldiers in the eyes of Joseph Heller which brings this book to a different level than what is expected. One example of heavy sexual content in Catch-22, is when Heller describes General Dreedle's nurse in great detail. Descriptions like "nubile breasts", "ripened" and "He drank her in insatiably from head to pointed toenail" (230), Or "He licked ... greatly because you don't think you are reading a war novel you think you're reading a pornographic fantasy novel, which it could have well been. Finally the last of the many examples of sexual content in Catch-22 is when Yossarian, the main character of the novel, molests Nurse Sue Ann Duckett. In a sad attempt of feeling sorry for Nurse Duckett, Yossarian helps her. At this point, ...
- 128: Sexual Pressures
- By: Anonymous E-mail: buktoman@aol.com The media is just one of the factors responsible for the increase in teen sexuality. Throughout a humans adolescents years they are subject to a number of sexual pressures. Through research I have found that peers are among the most influential. An adolescent is not limited to peer pressure though. They face pressures from the media as well. I believe that media pressure ... Males must think about the issue of perhaps becoming a father by accident of intentionally. Moreover, females must think about all the consequences of having sex. No sex happens to be the safest form of sexual activity. It is not hard for a condom to break of for birth control pills to be forgotten once or twice during a cycle to cause a pregnancy. In addition, once a female becomes pregnant ... of the United States was adulterous and lied about it. We as society say "so what?" when the accusations surfaced at first(Kavanagh 13). In the same fashion, the media plays a huge part of sexual pressures exerted on a teen. One way being television. Television at the present time is full of vulgarness and sex. As far as prime time television is concerned is safer to watch old re ...
- 129: Marilyn Monroe
- ... the signifiers become signs which then signify 'preferred meanings' with signification that draws from metasigns and ideologies. The slogan 'Entertainment for Men' is a signifier for the down classing of females as nothing more then sexual objects in our society. As a sign, the written text can be categorised as an icon as it directly connotes Marilyn Monroe as being 'Entertainment for Men', a playmate valued only for her body. This ... to behavioural ideologies in society for women to act as objects for male desires. The myths drawn from such slogans creates for females a sense of inferiority, where in Monroe's case, her body and sexual allure were her only resources. The ideologies circulating in society naturalised Monroe's image as being the cultural norm and something which women should aspire to be for the benefit of males. Marilyn Monroe established ... Monroe established a universally familiar expression, her face raised, mouth open and bared teeth, which became vital to her image. These idiosyncrasies of her facial expression are signifiers which help to create her marketable and sexual image. The open mouth and bared teeth become overt signs of sexual allure, playfulness and seductiveness. This contributes to the ideologies that females have to appear as a sexual object to remain a marketable ...
- 130: Gender Testing in The Odyssey
- ... entice him. In addition, he could have slept with more women but chose not to because of his love and loyalty to his wife Penelope. His first encounter with Nausicaa, for instance, is charged with sexual energy yet he restrains himself. Odysseus says to her, “Here I am at your mercy, princess-are you a goddess or a mortal?…just look at your build, your bearing, your lithe flowing grace…I ... ideal woman to be more sexually restrained than the ideal man. Penelope, for example, neither has an encounter with a man like Odyseuss has wirh Nausicaa, nor would she ever be described as having such sexual freedom as he has with Circe. There are such aggressive sexual dynamics in this particular scene, and it is important to note that only Odysseus (or a man) could still be a hero afterward. Circe says to him, “Come, sheathe your sword, let’s go ...
