Electra at the Tomb of, by, c.1869In, the Electra complex, as proposed by in his Theory of Psychoanalysis, is a girl's competition with her mother for possession of her father. In the course of her psychosexual development, the is the girl's; a boy's analogous experience is the. The Electra complex occurs in the third—phallic stage (ages 3–6)—of five stages: (i) the, (ii) the, (iii) the, (iv) the, and (v) the —in which the source of pleasure is in a different of the infant's body. In classical theory, the child's identification with the same-sex parent is the successful resolution of the Electra complex and of the; his and her key psychological experience to developing a mature. Instead proposed that girls and boys resolved their differently—she via, he via; and that unsuccessful resolutions might lead to.Hence, women and men who are in the Electra and Oedipal stages of their might be considered 'father-fixated' and 'mother-fixated'. Electra and Orestes, matricidesAs a term for daughter–mother psychosexual conflict, the Electra complex derives from the character, who plotted revenge with, her brother, against, their mother, and, their stepfather, for their murder of, their father (cf., by Sophocles). Developed the female aspects of the theory—describing the of a girl’s sexual competition with her mother for sexual possession of the father—as the feminine Oedipus attitude and the negative Oedipus complex; yet it was his collaborator who coined the term Electra complex in 1913.
Freud rejected Jung's term as inaccurate: 'that what we have said about the Oedipus complex applies with complete strictness to the male child only, and that we are right in rejecting the term 'Electra complex', which seeks to emphasize the analogy between the attitude of the two sexes'.In forming a discrete sexual identity , a girl's decisive psychosexual experience is the Electra complex—daughter–mother competition for possession of the father. It is in the (ages 3–6), when children become aware of their bodies, the bodies of other children, and the bodies of their parents that they gratify physical curiosity by undressing and exploring each other and their genitals—the —of the phallic stage; thereby learning the differences between male and female, 'boy' and 'girl'. When a girl's initial sexual attachment to her mother ends upon discovering that she has no, she then transfers her (sexual attachment) to her father and increases sexual competition with her mother. Characteristics The psychodynamic nature of the daughter–mother relationship in the Electra complex derives from, caused by the mother, who also caused the girl's; however, upon re-aligning her sexual attraction to her father (heterosexuality), the girl the hostile female competition, for fear of losing the love of her mother.
This of 'Mother' develops the as the girl establishes a discrete sexual identity. Without a penis, the girl cannot sexually possess her mother, as the infantile demands. Consequently, the girl redirects her for sexual union upon her father, and thus progresses to femininity, which culminates in bearing a child who replaces the absent. Moreover, after the, the girl’s psychosexual development includes transferring her primary from the infantile to the adult. Freud thus considered the feminine Oedipus attitude ('Electra complex') to be more emotionally intense than the Oedipal conflict of a boy, resulting, potentially, in a woman with a submissive, less confident personality.In both sexes, provide transitory resolutions of the conflicts between the drives of the and the drives of the ego. The first defense mechanism is, the blocking of memories, emotional impulses, and ideas from the conscious mind; yet it does not resolve the Id–Ego conflict.
The second defense mechanism is, by which the child incorporates, to his or her ego, the personality characteristics of the same-sex parent; in so adapting, the girl facilitates identifying with mother, because she understands that, in being females, neither of them possesses a penis, thus are not antagonists. If sexual competition for the opposite-sex parent is unresolved, a phallic-stage might arise, leading a girl to become a woman who continually strives to dominate men (viz. ), either as an unusually seductive woman (high self-esteem) or as an unusually submissive woman (low self-esteem). In a boy, a phallic-stage fixation might lead him to become a vain, over-ambitious man. Therefore, the satisfactory parental handling and resolution of the Electra complex are most important in developing the infantile, because, by identifying with a parent, the girl internalizes; thereby, she chooses to comply with societal rules, rather than being reflexively compelled to comply, for fear of punishment. Case studies. Hero meets heroine (1912)A 1921 study of patients at a New York state mental hospital, On the Prognostic Significance of the Mental Content in Manic-Depressive Psychosis, reported that of 31 patients studied, 22 (70%) had been diagnosed as afflicted with an Electra complex; and that 12 of the 22 patients had to early stages of.
Electra in fiction Fiction affords people the opportunity to with the protagonists of fantastic stories depicting what might be if they could act upon their. Often, in aid to promoting social conformity, the, story, or presents a story meant to frighten people from acting upon their desires. In the course of infantile, fulfill said function; boys and girls identify with the and in the course of their adventures. Often, the travails of hero and heroine are caused by an evil stepmother who is envious of him, her, or both, and will obstruct their fulfilling of desire. Girls, especially in the three-to-six year age range, can especially identify with a heroine for whom the love of a will sate her.
Moreover, stories such as have two maternal figures, the stepmother (society) and the; stepmother represents the girl's feelings towards mother; the fairy godmother teaches the girl that her mother loves her, thus, to have mother’s love, the girl must emulate the good Cinderella, not the wicked stepsisters.Portrayals of Electra in Ancient Greece did not generally present her devotion to her father as sexually motivated; however, since the early twentieth century, adaptations of the Electra story have often presented the character as exhibiting incestuous desires. Electra in poetry The American poet (1932–1963) acknowledged that the poem Daddy (1962) is about a woman, afflicted with an unresolved Electra complex, who conflates her dead father and derelict husband in dealing with having been emotionally abandoned. Her biographers noted a psychologic irony about the life of the poet Plath: she knew her father for only eight years, before he died; she knew her husband for eight years, before she killed herself. Her husband was her substitute father, apparent when she addresses him (the husband) as the 'vampire father' haunting her since his death. In conflating father and husband as one man, Sylvia Plath indicates their emotional equality in her life; the unresolved Electra complex.
