I absolutely love Freud’s theory of the uncanny, aware of such before I read his essay going into detail on it. This is likely a consequence of it giving weight to and explaining my fear of humanoid puppets (of the muppets variation) given that the psychology behind it has a fear of the uncanny arise when childhood beliefs we have grown out of suddenly seem real. Being able to give a name to this repressed dread and read a study explaining it is brilliant for personal sanity and the debates Freud puts forward surrounding why this occurs are fascinating. 

Absolutely my favourite essay by him even if he is prone to dragging sentences a little making them hard to follow. How this man manages to bring castration and genitalia into everything he writes however is bordering on an extremely peculiar talent!
