Auther Asa Berger, in his renowned book entitled “Media Analysis Technique” has discussed critically Sigmund Freud Psychoanalysis with reference of different critics in which Freud’s theory of Psychoanalysis i.e. unconscious, sexuality, The Oedipal complex, Myth, Id, Ego and Superego, symbols, defense mechanisms, dream, condensation and displacement, aggression and guilt have been discussed with practical examples.

In such condition children become and getting power of Oedipus Rex and the Greek fate here represents as parallel and arbitrary force unconsciously to fulfil Oedipus childhood fantasy and ultimately this very dream comes out in reality in shape of repression. The same thing is happened with Hamlet because Shakespeare was also preoccupied in this unconscious mind.

Being conscious some time makes us coward and a state of being unconscious makes us bold and courageous.
