...proper bourgeois who is even duller than she is. She is bored, she falls in love with a younger man (Jean-Paul Belmondo), she loses him. At this point, Flaubert's heroine kills herself. Brook's heroine, alas, owes rather less to Flaubert than she does to Freud. Her drama is not a tragedy of society but a crisis of identity. "She wants to live a life, anybody's life, even her own," her lover observes. Her undoing does not lead to death but to a death wish-"I wish you were dead," he rages...
...late James Dean. He wears tight slacks and a turtleneck sweater, while the women wear vague gowns of no particular century in an attempt to universalize the audience's sense of time. King Hamlet's ghost is merely an offstage voice from the collective unconscious, but Freud's ghost has the free run of Elsinore: whenever Hamlet delivers a soliloquy, he takes refuge in a large hole in the center of the stage, getting in up to his knees, waist or neck, depending on the psychographic depth of the moment.

But he is a fearless performer, a lively controversialist and handles heavy cultural names like King Lear, Dostoevsky, Freud, Sartre like a demented, butter-fingered juggler...
...DuBois became aware of two great thinkers whose views were to sharpen his outlook and influence his later actions: Freud and Marx. As early as 1904 he joined the Socialist Party, though he was soon to leave it to support Wilson. In 1926 DuBois made his first visit to the Soviet Union which "was for me a never-to-be-forgotten experience and it strengthened my belief in socialism as the one great road to progress."
