Weekly Reflection

1/25-27/10

Comedy is doing the Freudian theory. There are more to jokes than people think. There are Dream-works and joke-works. Dreams, the state of the unconsciousness.
There is a difference between women and men when hearing a joke, it is more likely for the woman to be offended by an obscene joke. The woman is the target and the man is the exivitor in a joke.
Freud 101...
There is the Ego, ID, and the Superego. From the ego comes the id, which is the animal of a person, then the superego comes forth which controls the animal instinct.

In the Oedipus complex, the son falls in love with the mother and starts to dislike the father. In early childhood the boy has a better relationship with the mother and relates to her far better than with the father. The relationship of the mother and son is a diatomic relationship. There is a certain kind of love triangle between the father, mother, and son. Those feeling from the son comes from the unconscious, then it forms into repression, and desire. So then they represent themselves through society.
Desire can then manifest itself in aggression. For example, the little boy who is trying to get the attention of the little girl will only show aggression because he thinks that it is the only way to get her attention.
