Why should we still use it to analyze literature? lmcgee216 https://padlet.com/lmcgee216/py5aothgkri3m0a1/wish/1548987055 Viewing literature through the psychoanalytic perspective allows for character's true and selfish desires to be seen as more than just daydreams: they can be seen as hidden influences in the character's actions.
    Without a psychoanalytic perspective, characters' humanity is stripped away from them. Every choice they make is therefore rationally thought out, erasing a character's moral compass. With a psychoanalytic perspective, literature is able to blend morality and immorality; a character's unconscious desire may be evil, but when conscious, they may repress such impulsivity--does this make them moral or immoral?]]>     2021-05-21 19:19:37 UTC https://padlet.com/lmcgee216/py5aothgkri3m0a1/wish/1548987055     Person 3: Post an image that symbolizes the Psychoanalytic perspective. lmcgee216 https://padlet.com/lmcgee216/py5aothgkri3m0a1/wish/1548987056 2021-05-21 19:19:37 UTC https://padlet.com/lmcgee216/py5aothgkri3m0a1/wish/1548987056 Person 3: Psychoanalytic Analysis of Passage from Macbeth lmcgee216 https://padlet.com/lmcgee216/py5aothgkri3m0a1/wish/1548987058 "Methought I heard a voice cry "Sleep no more! / Macbeth does murder sleep" --the innocent sleep, / Sleep that knits up the raveled sleave of care" (2.2.47-49).

    Answer the following:
    • the speaker and the one spoken to (could be himself/herself)
    Macbeth is speaking to both himself and Lady Macbeth
    • the context (what was happening at this point in the play)  
    At this point in the play, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth successfully killed Duncan and Macbeth is starting to break down when he starts hearing sounds.
    • Analyze this passage from the Psychoanalytic perspective. (Hint: What is Macbeth repressing?)
    Macbeth is repressing his guilt into his unconscious but he starts approaching his breaking point after killing Duncan because he starts hearing cries talking about what he just did. Part of his guilt is escaping into his conscious because of the severity of his actions.

Isolation led Lady Macbeth to conceitedness, daydreaming, and almost to hysteria; in analysis of hysterics, many patients had a common characteristic of daydreaming.
    2. Macbeth's reaction to the witches prophecy reveals him to be more wicked; the witches instigate Macbeth's tragedy by appealing to his unconscious ambition to be king.
    3. Lady Macbeth's unconsciousness betrays her when she sleepwalks; her mental fragility seems to have an indirect relationship with her and Macbeth's bond.]]>     2021-05-21 19:19:37 UTC https://padlet.com/lmcgee216/py5aothgkri3m0a1/wish/1548987062
