I put my own personal spin to it in that not only did I compare Freud and Marx’s viewpoints‚ I stated that perhaps what they saw in society was just a reflection of their own biases and personal inner feelings. Freud and Marx it can be argued were both‚ as individuals‚ dissatisfied with their societies.
