Understanding of Oedipus Complex through the story
- Oedipus complex, a theory that proposes that boys desire their mothers and therefore view their fathers as competitors.
From the story
- Larry doesn’t want his mother to behave ‘Father’ kindly. He seems him as a stranger.
- A quote from the sayings of Larry is that
“I thought for a while that it might be the newspapers she (his mother) was interested in, so I made up bits of news of my own to read her. Then I thought it might be the smoking, which I personally thought attractive, and took his pipes and went round the house dribbling into them till he caught me.”
