Freud’s work describes the mythological birth of the greatest taboos in Western culture: Originally, Freud says, the women were held early in the warp from the head of the group, a sort of father-master who dominated by his will that of children. But the desire for power and possession of them, pushed them to take the great murder of the father, so as to have women and honors. But the father “did more harm dead than alive”, presenting himself in remorse for the children that he raised a totem (symbolic representation of the father) that remind them of the bloody act as the great taboo murder, incest, hatred against parents …. taboo that the child lives in full during the oedipal phase, in which, in love with the parent of the opposite sex, try the same feelings of revenge for the parent of the same sex, which considers her rival. Remorse felt by his brothers ancestral be repeated in the child, until set as its reference point the father (totem), identified in her sex.
A great work, therefore, that reveals the genius of a man who has succeeded with his studies and his theories, uncover the mysteries of the human mind and of our civilization
