Abstract

Oedipus complex, according to Freud's psychoanalytic theory; boys love the mother and see the father as the opponent. In this confusion that takes its name from a Greek myth, boys hate their fathers while falling in love with their mothers. According to Freud, the boy identifies himself with the father as he feeds his mother some sexual desires and wants to replace him. The same applies to girls. Freud has attempted to explain the Oedipus complex in terms of the events that came to it, in motion, even of literary works of authors such as Dostoyevsky. Although there has been a lot of reaction in this regard, the rightfulness has been left to them by researchers working in this field. The words like "I want to be like my mother" and "Be my wife like my father" we hear frequently in our neighborhood are basically related to this theorem of Freud. In this work, Lami'i of the 16th century poet will be dealt with in the context of the Oedipus complex of the 1903-pound Salaman and Absal mathnawi, translated from the Molla Cami. This mathnawi, with Greek origins, is confronted with a different fiction from other mathnawis. Mathnawi; in the extraordinary way, Salaman, who came to the world without a mother, tells of love that she lived with a woman named Absal, who was kept as her motherin-law. The mathnawi, Oedipus complex seems to have existed. There is a hidden hostility towards the father because the love between father, Salaman and Absal is the greatest obstacle. This is why Salaman is away from his father. At the end of mathnawi, the death of Absal and the Salamans fell in love with another woman named Zühre, leaving the Oedipus complex to stand. The problem with Salamani's father is the end of his father's desire to replace.
