This makes it easy to discuss how some of the major psychoanalytic concepts may be used in order to understand Lear’s abnormal behaviour. Lear’s paranoia will be viewed through a Freudian lens. Paranoia of betrayal is a tragic flaw due to an event which happened previously in someone’s life. Freud’s theory that during the stages of development if one virtue is not met it will disable them emotionally, making…

cubism. Les Demoiselles d’Avignon is said to be Picasso’s first cubism painting but cubism style was already seen in the work “two nude women (figure 4)”.

In the words of the newly elected President of the United States of America, “grab them by the pussy” (Mathis-Lilley). Those in positions of power utilize misogyny as a means of control and as a tool to reinforce a personally beneficial power structure.
