Reading The Joke and Its Relation to the Unconscious | Alexandria
Read The Joke and Its Relation to the Unconscious by Sigmund Freud. Revealing how jokes expose our darkest desires, Freud's groundbreaking analysis shows that humor isn't just entertainment - it's a window into our repressed thoughts. By linking wit to the unconscious mind, he proved comedy serves as a safety valve for taboo impulses we'd rather deny. What we laugh at betrays what we truly want.
