Das Unheimliche In Der Erzahlung Der Sandmann Von E T A Hoffmann Nach Sigmund Freud

This analysis delves into E.T.A. Hoffmann's tale, 'The Sandman,' through the lens of Sigmund Freud's concept of 'Das Unheimliche,' or the uncanny. It explores how the story elicits feelings of unease and dread by exploiting familiar yet unsettling themes, drawing upon Freud's theories to understand the psychological impact of the narrative and its lasting influence on literature and psychoanalysis. This examines the elements in the story, the characters, and the overall atmosphere that contribute to the uncanny experience, connecting them to Freud's ideas about the return of the repressed and the fear of castration.
