Dr. E. Michael Jones discusses how Sigmund Freud projected his messed-up obsession onto mankind.
My Tidbit: Figures sh!tty concepts like this would come from a (Jewish) father of psychoanalysis.
_____Freud's Oedipus Complex and Electra Complex_______
Freud created the term Oedipus complex during his self-analysis.
He claimed that this psychological condition is universal.
Oedipus Tyrannus affected both the ancient Greeks and today's audiences; everyone has oedipal feelings.
When Freud saw the play's incredible success in Germany and France in the 1880s, it supported his belief that the play moves modern audiences with as much force as it did originally in Greece.
He characterized it as loving and hostile wishes that children experienced toward their parents at the height of the phallic phase. The phallic phase is the stage of psychosexual development occurring between the ages of three and seven.
In its positive form, the child's rival is the parent of the same sex and the child desires sexual union with the parent of the opposite sex.
In its negative form, the child's rival is the parent of the opposite sex and the child desires the parent of the same sex.
The decline of the Oedipus complex and entry into the latency period is related to the threat of castration for boys and the desire for a baby for girls.
After puberty, the resolution of the complex happens through the choice of a suitable substitute for the object of love.
However, the Oedipus complex continues to be an unconscious organizer throughout life. It also forms an indissoluble link between wish and law.

The Oedipus Complex in the Media
The song, "The End" by the Doors has a verse where the vocalist claims to want to kill his father and have sex with his mother.
The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He went into the room where his sister lived, and...then he
Paid a visit to his brother, and then he
He walked on down the hall, and
And he came to a door...and he looked inside
Father, yes son, I want to kill you
Mother...I want to...fuck you
