Hamlet and Oedipus
1949 study of Hamlet by Ernest Jones
Hamlet and Oedipus is a study of William Shakespeare's Hamlet in which the title character's inexplicable behaviours are subjected to investigation along psychoanalytic lines.[1]
The study was written by Sigmund Freud's colleague and biographer Ernest Jones, following on from Freud's own comments on the play, as expressed to Wilhelm Fliess in 1897,[2] before being published in Chapter V of The Interpretation of Dreams (1899).
