Features: Psychoanalysis is to discover a place, that is, the place of the unconscious, and to find a dynamic force at work in this place, which is entirely centered around the Oedipus complex, particularly its fundamental moment—castration: castration regulates both the desire of girls and the desire of boys, while for girls, it determines their entry into Oedipus, and for boys, it determines their detachment from Oedipus. According to psychoanalytic interpretation, it is explained based on two concepts: the unconscious and castration. Moreover, they must be elaborated in this order, because any discussion of the Oedipus complex that does not connect it to the place discovered by Freud's Oedipus complex is almost nothing more than a new interpretation of ancient mythology. However, our purpose is to demonstrate that the Oedipus myth is not the one that reveals its various dynamic lines, nor is it the tragedy that determines it in everyone's actual experience. Rather, in the case where desire constitutes a result of the relationship between humans and speech activity rather than society, it is a structure that desire arranges itself within.
