Abstract	The psychoanalytic theory that was developed by Sigmund Freud in the late 19th century and the early 20th century has left an indelible mark on both the field of literary criticism and the field of human psychotherapy. This extensive review article delves into the myriad contributions that Freudian theory has made, illuminating its long-lasting influence on our comprehension of human behavior and literary works. This article draws from a wide variety of academic sources in order to provide a comprehensive analysis of Freud's fundamental ideas, their applications in literary analysis, and their transformative impact on the field of psychotherapy. We shed light on the ways in which Freud's ideas continue to shape our understanding of the human psyche as well as artistic expression by investigating the complex intersections that exist between psychoanalysis and literary works.
