📖 The Nutcracker, cracked. A classical psychoanalytic interpretation of a classical tale.

"The Nutcracker, cracked" sheds light into the inner world of Marie, the main character from the story of "The Nutcracker" by E. T. A. Hoffmann, through a mainly classical psychoanalytic interpretation. This work is meant to elicit certain reactions from the reader, some being identification with Marie, reflection over one's own childhood, as well as an overall, but holistic sense of understanding of why we do what we do. Finally, this interpretation also tries to explain, through the example of "The Nutcracker", the modern phenomena of the series binge-watching behaviour, and why so many people display it today.
