The Reading by Freud " Femininity" really made me wonder about my femininity. Freud had some very valid points about a girl and her mother, and the girl with father. I really don't like the way he states that girl is longing for a penis which her mother refused to give her, it makes it seem that we are envious of not being a boy. why would a girl be envious of not having a penis if she doesn't know what one is. It is really crazy to me how he explained the whole castration complex. I personally don't believe in the castration complex of the women because it just seems so far off. The reading "The character of Hamlet's Mother" on the other hand had some very valid points about Gertrude and her personality. I found it quite interesting how Professor Dover Wilson found Gertrude to lustful. I also thought of her as being lustful and passionate, the reason for my characterization would be her quick marriage to Claudius. the quick marriage showed that she always wanted company and companionship and a lustful person would ways want someone around.
