SummaryFreudian psychology follows the notion that it can dissect the human mind into various parts and pieces that can be interpreted even if the individual doesn’t realize what any of the messages mean. In literature, Freudian psychology can be utilized to understand themes, characters, or actions. The Greek tragedies are well known for being a basis for this through concepts such as the Oedipus complex. Eurpides’s The Bacchae introduces the ancient world to several other concepts of Freudian psychology, such as repression and psychoanalysis, and effectively demonstrates Freud’s concept of the mind, including the id, ego, and superego.
