Freud applies the Oedipus complex in the Little Hans Case, arguing that little boy, Hans akined the horses to his father, complete with blinkers(spectacles) and black bits around their mouths( moustache). It was his fear for penises that created such a phobia in him in that horses being animals with large penises would come and cut off his small penis, leading to ‘castration complex theory.”
However, according to Freud, the real cause for Hans’s fear for horses stemmed out of guilt and fear for sexually longing his mother and believing that his father (horse with larger penis) would cut off his penis and castrates him for longing his mother. The “castration fear” among young boys, forms much of the Oedipus theory as advocated by Freud. nut
