Question |
---|
Good morning! So, how is everyone doing today? Alright, great! |
My name is Sam, and what I’m about to present to you is a song called “Mother” by Pink Floyd. |
This song carries on a dialogue between a mother and her son, which focuses on one of Erikson’s life-stages, Identity vs. Role Confusion. |
Play Song |
On the surface, this song gives you the impression that it’s about a mother that is doing what is best for her little boy. |
Well, most of that is true, except the little boy part. He’s actually a grown man. |
His mother seems to have good intentions, but actually, she is the source of his insecurities. |
He asks her a lot of basic questions about life, constantly seeking her approval, he is lacking his own identity. I relate this to (Identity vs. Role Confusion). |
How could he possibly develop his own identity with his mother thinking for him and making all of his decisions? |
So, to wrap this up, I would like to reiterate what I’ve covered so far. |
Despite his mothers intentions, she is the source of his identity problem. She prevents him from developing his identity by being too protective. |
Thank you for listening. |
