Intro to Topic ·
Freud's Sublime / uncanny
The Sublime is a sense of transcendence. We associate it with the uncanny. Mind over matter. Repression. I'm just going to pretend like I understand what Freud's talking about, like everyone else...

Author ·
Freud could have analyzed fairy tales
Author thinks that fairy tales would have fit the "uncanny" Freudian analysis because they are connected with repressed desires.
Freud ·
Did not analyze fairy tales
Freud didn't because everything is possible in a fairy tale hence nothing is incredible.

Bettelheim ·
Fairy tales can be therapeutic for autistic children
Because a child's isolation, loneliness, and anxieties are addressed by fairy tales. When parents tell fairy tales to children, they are approving the fairy tales. Okay... wtf does this have to do with Freudian analysis? Are we just talking about something else now?

Question ·
Why should fairy tales be therapeutic?
Bettelheim just said that fairy tales are therapeutic. Now we're saying, "Okay, but why is it therapeutic?"
Bettelheim's Answer ·
Children contemplate the story's connection to their lives and find their own solutions
Bettelheim's Assumptions ·
1. Children will interpret a story benignly and 2. Freudian interpretations will accurately represent children't interpretations
