Résumé du texte « Malaise dans la civilisation » de Sigmund FREUD Lors de cette première section, Freud commence son texte en disant que la diversité au sein des hommes amène à des idéaux différents et des normes de pensées différentes. Pour illustrer cela, il prend un exemple concret et qu’il a lui-même vécu : la religion.

The trickster is in all of us. It may seem though we are far from it, but all of us have a little bit of the archetypical trickster and these similarities display themselves in subtle way that we disregard them altogether. Tricksters have been a part of our history for a very long time being handed down from generations to generations either verbally or transcribed to keep records for the future. Archetypes are symbolism of people and how they are perceived by the majority, and a trickster archetype

The uncanny is described as something that is secretly familiar, but because it has been repressed in the past and brought forward again, it invokes the feeling of fright and unease. This uneasiness is attributed to the familiar unfamiliarity created through

Psychoanalytic/ psychodynamic Psychodynamic theory is the psychology of mental or emotional forces and processes that develop in early childhood, and how they affect a person’s behavior later on. Maybe, as a young child, Roberto was always very reserved, and didn’t socialize a lot with other people his age. Because of this, Roberto is very introverted now. In the psychoanalytic theory, dreams, an analysis of resistance and transference, and free interpretation are used to study unconscious thoughts

When I first started reading this requiem, it sparkled my eyes how such a tremendous artist would own such an imaginative and creative insight expressing the nature of “transience” The conversation between Rilke and Freud was really beautiful and touching. As Rikle admired the beauty of nature around each other but felt no joy in it because he was disturbed by the thought that all this beauty was fated to extinction. For Rilke, the transience of natural beauty made it worthless but for Freud its
