Mas por que Freud insiste em ler essa peça especificamente como uma experiência teatral por parte de uma audiência moderna? Este artigo defende que a teoria de Freud, desde o princípio, fundiu a peça sofocliana ao Hamlet de Shakespeare, fazendo um uso metateatral de Édipo Rei equivalente ao que faz Hamlet com “O Assassinato de Gonzago”, para provocar uma reação em Cláudio. Freud nos coloca na audiência de Édipo para que sejamos tomados por nossa culpa edipiana, confirmando assim sua teoria.
Very early on, Freud centered his argument for the universality of the Oedipus complex on a reading of Oedipus Tyrannus. But why did he insist on reading it specifically as a theatrical experience on the part of a modern audience? This article argues that Freud’s theory from the start had fused the Sophoclean play with Shakespeare’s Hamlet, deploying Oedipus Tyrannus metatheatrically as Hamlet deployed “The Murder of Gonzago” to trigger a reaction in Claudius. Freud puts us in the audience of Oedipus in order for us to sense our own oedipal guilt, confirming his theory.

Armstrong focuses on the not widely known work of Enrique de Villena (1384–1434), whose translation can be seen as a transitional point between medieval and modern translational practices and as marking the beginning of a ‘vernacularization’ of translation, a process designed to make the translated text more accessible to the target audience. In analysing the Castilian Eneida of Villena, Armstrong reflects on the philological conscience of a translator faced with the daunting task of translating Virgil, as well as on the boundaries that separate text from paratext.
