| Sigmund Freud |
In another of my classes, I just learned about theories of
human development. One of those theories is that of Sigmund Freud. Freud
believed that throughout our lives we are always driven by sexual desires. In
Calasso, it seems that every story about a god has been the conquest of a
woman. These gods are given entirely to gratifying their sexual impulses. We
read about rape after rape after rape, each god lusting after every beautiful
women they see. The carnality of the gods is a level I would call psycho-sexual.
While I don’t really agree with Freud’s theory for humans, it definitely seems it could be applied to gods of Calasso or mythology as a whole.
