Compare and contrast Schnitzler’s and Freud’s interpretations of character.
This essay is an Art History essay
, this is to be based round era of Fin De Siecle Vienna, so it must be round that time frame. I have uploaded some good notes and a good scan from the book “Arthur Schnitzler; A Critical Study”, I advise you to read through this scanned piece to gain good knowledge of the subject matter and context of the essay.
The essay is to be based on schnitzler’s and freud’s analysis on “character”, this should be a compare and contrast essay showing similarities and difference in the subject of how they both interpreted character by their methods of analysis, psychoanalysis and critical study, this must also show examples of these interpretations from their own analysis which is why i advise to read the proposed texts i have uploaded for you.
This essay must be written in the context of art history in fin de siecle in vienna and focus on the artistic materials that were analysed by both freud and schnitzler, eg: certain plays that were performed at that time by schnitzler, and what did freud also study to gain interpretation of character, schnitzler and freud have very similar ideas and theories but there a lot of differences also, so therefore, one must determine these similarities and differences gained in the works they produced and also studied. Pleas do read the text i have uploaded “Arthur Schnitzler; A Critical Study” this will show relevant material and context.
Pleas do remember this is an art history paper not psychological.
The body of the essay should solely focused on the essay question and nothing else, this should not be a long summary about freud and schnitzler it should a critical study and strong argument relating to the essay question, anything else that s not relevant to the question should be written.
If there is anything you are unsure then please contact me.
PS. examples must be used. I quite like Schnitzler’s “Lutenant Gustl”
Please read what I have advised and do not attempt this paper if you are unsure of art history or fin de siecle vienna.
