I do know what it is. I have seen Oedipus Rex and I'm familiar with what's meant by Oedipus Complex. I'm not saying it's an actual complex. Perhaps what I mean is that the whole repeat of James and Lily comes through in Harry and Ginny. More than anything though, it's his way of being a part of the Weasley family which I think is just ridiculous because he's a part of the family regardless of being married to the one and only daughter.

I'm not the anon from above, but I'm really curious about your comment, because I don't understand how what your describing is an Oedipal complex (or like Oedipus in any way). I thought an Oedipal complex was the desire to kill your father to have sex with your mother, and no matter how I try to shape that idea, I can't get it to fit your statement.

I'm genuinely curious. I'm not trying to be a smartass or anything. It just seems like an interesting bit of meta and I'd like to hear more.

I don't think you're being a smart ass. Admittedly, I know it's not actually an Oedipus complex, so what I said isn't really what I meant. Mostly, I just think that Ginny and Harry are honestly a replica of James and Lily. He's never had a bond with his mother so you can't really argue that he even wants to sleep with her (Lily).

Good. :) I tend to be overly cautious in this forum so I don't unintentionally insult someone.

I like HP, but I'm not in the fandom, so when I saw something about Harry having an Oedipus complex, my first thought was, "Woah! I should reread the series!" I mean, if that sort of stuff is happening in the background, I need to know! :D

Mostly, I just think that Ginny and Harry are honestly a replica of James and Lily.

How so?

[eerised-da.livejournal.com]

No worries. I can understand being cautious on a forum like this. Fandom tends to get intense sometimes.

It could just be how I see it coming from the way they both look, but to me it just felt like the one person chasing another endlessly, then they finally get together. The tables are a bit turned and it's certainly not the exact same, but it just seemed like such a repeat to me. I mean, we certainly didn't see much of James and Lily, but these are also very old opinions and I haven't read the books in a long while. So the next time I read them, I may be refreshing my opinions.
