Tragedy and the mind of the infant

In reading the exerpt by Ernst Jones, i found it very interesting as to how much jealousy and hatred can actually be accumulated in infancy. Not only how much is accumulated, but how much this can affect the child in his adult life. i also found the discussion on the subject of death to be interesting, to note how a child just views the person as being gone...not really understanding the morbidness of it. i also enjoyed the reading on the relationship between the author and the reader and the play. this section explained just how writers may come up with an idea and the link between the unconsciouse and creativity. the fact that an autors creativity may really stem from his surpressed desires as a child is quite interesting, given the fact that we view creativity differnetly.
