Oedipal subtext refers to underlying themes or motifs in literature, film, or art that evoke the Oedipus complex, a concept introduced by Sigmund Freud. This complex describes a child's unconscious desire for the opposite-sex parent and rivalry with the same-sex parent. In narratives, this subtext can manifest through characters' relationships, conflicts, and psychological struggles that mirror these familial dynamics. Such themes can add depth to character motivations and highlight issues of identity, power, and desire.
