If there is a literary form that has been linked to Freudian psychoanalysis from its very early steps, it is undoubtedly the legendary figure of Oedipus, as inherited from Sophocles and interpreted by Freud.
If there is a concept from the entire theoretical arsenal of Freudian psychoanalysis that has been at the center of criticism and disputes and has become a touchstone for the friends and enemies of psychoanalysis, it is the concept of the Oedipus complex and its connection to the unconscious and desire, as the Oedipus complex has emerged as the "nuclear complex of neuroses."
In his essay "Hamlet and Freud," Swiss literary and psychiatric historian Jean Starobinski offers a close reading and interpretation of Freud's letters and the Freudian works that established psychoanalysis itself as a field for the interpretation of the unconscious.
He manages to shed light not only on the decisive importance of ancient Greek tragedy for Freudian psychoanalysis but also on the relationship that weaves between the hero of Sophocles' tragedy and the hero of Shakespearean tragedy within Freudian thought.
This relationship, as Starobinski shows, will prove crucial throughout Freud's work, as Hamlet will represent the shadow of Oedipus starting from the foundational text of psychoanalysis itself: "The Interpretation of Dreams."
