Claude Cat
Claude Cat is an animated cartoon character in the ''Looney Tunes'' and '' Merrie Melodies'' series of cartoons from Warner Brothers. Character biography Claude Cat had his origins in several other cat characters used by animator Chuck Jones from 1943 to 1946. These cats were mostly similar in appearance and temperament, with black fur and anxious personalities. For example, in the 1943 film '' The Aristo-Cat'', Jones paired his unnamed cat against the mind-manipulating mouse duo, Hubie and Bertie. In the 1943 film '' Fin'n Catty,'' the same cat has a manipulation with water and a goldfish in the style of Sylvester and Tweety. He also appeared in '' Odor-able Kitty'' (1945; the debut of Pepé Le Pew), and in the 1946 film '' Roughly Squeaking'' (this early version of Claude was his last appearance with Hubie and Bertie before his official redesign in 1949). Jones redesigned the neurotic feline for the 1949 film '' Mouse Wreckers'' (perhaps to distinguish him from Friz Fre ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Jealousy
Jealousy generally refers to the thoughts or feelings of Emotional insecurity, insecurity, fear, and concern over a relative lack of possessions or safety. Jealousy can consist of one or more emotions such as anger, resentment, inadequacy, helplessness or disgust. In its original meaning, ''jealousy'' is distinct from envy, though the two terms have popularly become synonymous in the English language, with ''jealousy'' now also taking on the definition originally used for envy alone. These two emotions are often confused with each other, since they tend to appear in the same situation. Jealousy is a typical experience in Interpersonal relationship, human relationships, and it has been observed in infants as young as five months.Draghi-Lorenz, R. (2000).

Id, Ego And Super-ego
In psychoanalytic theory, the id, ego, and superego are three distinct, interacting agents in the psychic apparatus, outlined in Sigmund Freud's structural model of the psyche. The three agents are theoretical constructs that Freud employed to describe the basic structure of mental life as it was encountered in psychoanalytic practice. Freud himself used the German terms ''das Es'', ''Ich'', and ''Über-Ich'', which literally translate as "the it", "I", and "over-I". The Latin terms id, ego and superego were chosen by his original translators and have remained in use. The structural model was introduced in Freud's essay '' Beyond the Pleasure Principle'' (1920) and further refined and formalised in later essays such as '' The Ego and the Id'' (1923). Freud developed the model in response to the perceived ambiguity of the terms "conscious" and "unconscious" in his earlier ''topographical'' model. Broadly speaking, the id is the organism's unconscious array of uncoordinated i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
