Seduction Theory Vs Oedipus Complex

“The Aetiology of Hysteria' and the “The Interpretation of Dreams” are two great statements developed by Sigmund Freud. This two documents are so popular because talk about psychosexual development and human unconsciousness. However, I am just going to focus on which theory is most convincing the so-called seduction theory discussed in 'The Aetiology of Hysteria' and the Oedipus complex presented in The Interpretation of Dreams.

The Oedipus Complex originates from Oedipus Rex, a character who killed his father and married his mother. The Oedipal Complex broaches the idea that every children have an unconscious natural sexual attraction to their mothers or men really want to marry women who are like their mothers.

I looked this theory , not at a sexual level, but as a admiration and exemplary level in which we
