Sigmund Freud

before reading anything from Sigmund Freud, i had never really heard of him. But, when i asked other class mates, and team mates about it i was told that he is very hard to understand, and some of the things he says in his book are bizaar. but, after i picked the book up, and actually read some of it, i realized that this is not the case at all. Sigmund Freud touches on subjects that are otherwise never really discussed, but people tend to have different views on them. So, i think that the fact is, Sigmund Freuds raedings are not "hard", but they are topics that can be viewed in many different lights, so this may lead people to view his readings as hard to understand, or hard to grasp.

This is interesting to me because I had a similar conversation with my husband. I told him we were reading Freud and he said "oh, he is hard to read." I was surprised by that because I find his ideas--as you said--a little wacky in points but pretty understandable. I agree with you also that Freud's ideas make people uncomfortable. maybe that is partly why they find him hard to read.
