The dream of having sexual intercourse with one's mother was as common then as it is today with many people, who tell it with indignation and astonishment. As may well be imagined, it is the key to the tragedy and the complement to the dream of the death of the father. The Oedipus fable is the reaction of phantasy to these two typical dreams, and just as such a dream, when occurring to an adult, is experienced with feelings of aversion, so the content of the fable must include terror and self—chastisement. The form which it subsequently assumed was the result of an uncomprehending secondary elaboration of the material, which sought to make it serve a theological intention. 注释44The attempt to reconcile divine omnipotence with human responsibility must, of course, fail with this material as with any other. 去书内

    The Oedipus fable, in this context, is not merely a myth but a manifestation of universal psychological patterns. Freud’s interpretation links the myth to the unconscious wishes of children, where desire for the mother and rivalry with the father exist beneath the surface of consciousness. This perspective revolutionized the understanding of human development, dreams, and literature, positioning the Oedipus complex as a cornerstone of psychoanalytic theory and a lens through which to explore the depths of the human psyche.
