| Summary |
"Der Wahn und die Träume in W. Jensens »Gradiva«" by Sigmund Freud is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book examines the psychological themes present in the novella "Gradiva" by Wilhelm Jensen, particularly focusing on the character Norbert Hanold and his interactions with the dreamlike figure of Gradiva, exploring the relationship between dreams, desires, and the nature of reality. Freud's analysis intertwines elements of psychoanalysis and literature, providing insights into human psychology and the workings of the mind. The opening of the work introduces the main premise: Freud's intention to explore dreams not just as simple occurrences but as complex narratives constructed by poets and authors, reflecting deeper emotional and psychological truths. The text details Hanold's obsession with an ancient relief depicting Gradiva, illustrating his growing detachment from reality and his romantic fantasies about her. Through a mix of dreams and conscious desires, the narrative sets the stage for the examination of how these elements manifest in Hanold's psyche, exploring the possibility that his dreams about Gradiva are symbolic representations of his repressed memories and feelings stemming from a childhood connection to a girl named Zoë, ultimately leading into a deeper analysis of love, desire, and the impact of the past on the present.
