Sam Barr · Answer 1

a)

Explanation:

The psychoanalytic theory hols that there are inner forces that drives behavior. The mind is divided into conscious mind and the unconscious mind. The unconscious mind somehow links the fear of an entity to another entity and the conscious mind will be prompted by the unconscious mind to behave accordingly. The inner fear of father is translated into the fear of snake in this case.
