Freudian analysis is bullshit when applied to people, but it tends to work much better for texts. Especially texts written by white dudes, and especially especially 19th and early 20th century ones. I tend to be deeply suspicious of Freudian analyses, but some of them are pretty persuasive. (Not the "Hamlet has an Oedipal complex" shit, though.)

*shrugs* Freud! What a dickbag.
