Uvod u psihoanalizu: Edip, Hamlet, Jekyll i Hyde
The book is intended as an introduction to psychoanalytic literary criticism through analyzes of works by authors to whom the most psychoanalytic interpretations are devoted.
Thus, the book contains five detailed analyzes of the following works: Oedipus the King and Oedipus at Colonus; Hamlet; Stolen letter; Crime and Punishment and Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Each individual chapter contains an overview of psychoanalytic interpretations of the mentioned works, starting from Freud to contemporary psychoanalytic theories. For example, the analysis of W. Shakespeare's Hamlet will begin with Freud's and Jones' reviews, focused on the problem of the Oedipus complex. The review of psychoanalytic interpretations of Hamlet is concluded with the works of psychoanalytic feminists J. Mitchell and J. Rose, who emphasize the problem of excessive affective investment in female characters (Gertrude) or unwanted projection (Ophelia). The meaning of this work rests in the intention that through the interpretation of representative literary works distinct theoretical shifts and turns within psychoanalysis can be read at the same time, which makes psychoanalytic criticism extremely significant today since its contemporary feature is the result of both historicization and the introduction of cultural relativity into psychoanalytic categories.
