In regards to the parental comment about Romeo and Juliet‚ I both agree and disagree. When I say agree‚ what I really mean is that I understand where the parent is coming from and why they think that younger people shouldn’t watch this movie.

one of the leaders of the so called aesthetic movement in England. In his novel he puts this theory into practice. His attempt makes up an interesting study of aestheticism and decadence‚ the Late Victorian Era‚ and of Oscar Wilde himself. In this essay‚ however‚ this novel and its protagonist will be analysed from a psychoanalytic perspective with emphasis on Freud’s theories of the psyche. Freud’s psychoanalytic theories deal with the three-part psyche (Barry 97). He claims that the human mind contains
