Launch Party


So my College has a literary magazine and my story is being published in it so now it's official I'm a published author.
I wonder if there are literary magazines for young adult fiction?

The Eye Sees Everything Psychoanalysis and The Tell Tale Heart

            Psychoanalysis is one of the most well-known critical approaches in literature, it shows the literary critic the mental state of not only the main character, but the author as well.

Psychoanalysis and Hamlet

After the death of his father, and his mother remarrying immediately afterwards to of all people his Uncle Claudius, Hamlet is pushed towards the brink trying to deal with all of these sudden changes. All of these changes put together can create instability in Hamlet’s mind as his world is shaken by the sudden changes. When psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud wrote T he Interpretation of Dreams he introduced the world to the ideas of the id , the ego and the superego in which encompass the way the mind is influenced by events from their younger years.
