Yeah so maybe he was a little crazy but i think he got some things right. I think the whole idea of the ego, super-ego, and id is a valid one. The three parts of the brain that control you both consciously and subconsciously are apparent. In Barry i thought it was funny when he reffered to a cigar just being a cigar and not a phallic symbol was humerous because he smoked cigars. What would he say about a popsicle or something else? that's why i think his theory is flawed and a little messed up. There is either too much room for interpretation or there isn't enough, i'm not sure which one it is.
I think Lacan had a better idea of what was going on. Instead of analyzing something by the characters or objects he used the whole peice of literature to find meaning. It makes more sense, lets say there is a tree blowing in the wind in a scene, that could be the whole meaning of the play or text for frued but it's just a part of the bigger picture when it comes to Lacan.
