ARTICLE REFLECTION 2 – AT HOME WITH MAMA

I should first mention that it was so fun to read such a hilarious article. I do not know whether or not the author is Italian, but I should confess that he or she has a good sense of humor.

Another advantage of the author is that his or her jokes are not only funny, but also intelligent. He/she addresses to Sigmund Freud and Oedipus complex, which is really clever and courage of his or her. The most hilarious part, I think, was “That climbing trend is mirrored across Europe, but almost 30% of Italian men aged 30-34, uniquely, have yet to fly the nest. Sigmund Freud would find it fascinating.” The emphasis of Sigmund Freud, whom I really love because of his theories, and call “Feridun” among my friends on the purpose of having fun, is really funny and suitable for his theories. His or her jokes also prove that he or she is well-informed about philosophy.

If I am to comment on the content of the article, the first thing I should mention is that I had already been informative about the topic. In our Italian courses, our Italian teacher, Durrin Alpakin Martinez Caro, have always been telling stories about Italian people and Italy. One of the things that she has told us was the relationship between Italian men, their wife, and men’s mother. In the article, there is a saying “A lot of marriages break up because his mother is around too much. That is exactly true according to what our teacher has told us.

All in all, I find their – both of men and of their mothers- ideas really reasonable. I found the saying true that “The problems come from a lack of affection than an excess of it. You don’t find people who are psychologically unbalanced because they got too much love or protection at home”, which summarizes the entire article. The phenomenon is also close to the tradition of our country; therefore, which I can somehow emphatize with Italian men.
