Abstract

The “Oedipus Complex” first appeared in Sophocles’ famous tragedy Oedipus Rex, also known as the “maternal love complex,” characterized by the desire to “kill the father and marry the mother.” This concept, proposed by Freud, has been widely used in various fields. This paper briefly analyzes how the Oedipus Complex is reflected in the film Dam Street by examining the subconscious of the characters.
