Quotation from The Interpretation of Dreams by Sigmund Freud
“Hamlet can do everything but take vengeance upon the man who has put his father out of the way, and has taken his father’s place with his mother”
The Interpretation of Dreams, Chapter V, footnote on Hamlet, trans. A. A. Brill (1913)
In the Brill text the Hamlet discussion appears as a long note; Freud reads the prince's delay as the inhibition of a repressed wish.
