Sigmund Freud is the most famous psychanalyst, He studied the relation between the soul and the body. He worked as psychiatrist with crazy people and hysterics women .
He believes in the conscious and the subconcious of everyone. He believes also that you could learn about this unconscious of somebody by studying his dreams.
As for him, there are three parts in everyone that he calls Archetypes:
The "Id" based on our unconscious. The Id is our animal part. That's represent the things that we really wanna do, our "Pleasure Principle" without thinking about the consequences. It's the impulsiv part of our mind.
The Super Ego which plays the role of mediator and control our Id.
The Ego is the social person, the reasonable part of us.
He also studied "The Uncanny" which a very complex notion for me!!! That's the scarry or weird impression that we feel sometimes about some situations without knowing why. Or it can be when you have the impression that's something is pretty familiar although it's the first time that you see it.... for Freud that's the result of the relation between our conscious and subconscious.
C.G Jung as Freud's student shares the same ideas about the consicous subconscious and keeps the idea of Archetypes.
Jung's Archetypes are however different.
The Anima represents the female soul. Trinity in the Matrix for instance plays the archetype of the Female
The Animus the masculine soul like Neo .
The shadow is the third archetype and can be compared to the unconscious of Freud.
The shadow gathers all the bad experiences and painful feelings that we experienced in our life.
The shadow is the part of our mind that we want to forget. The risk is that if we ignore it totally, the shadow takes the main personality and can make some people depressiv or crazy!!
Later, Joseph Campbell also mentions the huge part that the Ego plays in our life. That makes us submit to the system. It also compares the Ego with the Dragon that we find in all adventures stories. I like the image of the Dragon who holds us, the dragon who locks us and makes harder the quest of our own " Nirvana"....
