Viac o knihe

The paper provides a psychological analysis of character behavior in Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds through the lens of Freud's Oedipus complex. It explores the reasons behind children's attachment to their opposite-sex parent by examining unconscious childhood events. The study specifically analyzes the interactions and actions of the main characters: Mitch, Lydia, and Melanie. The findings culminate in a conclusion that summarizes the analysis and suggests avenues for further exploration of the characters' motivations and relationships.
