From my english course this morning:
It doesn't take a Freudian analyst to see that childbirth and the evacuation of the bowels are intimately connected. Diarrhea, or loss of control over one's bowels, could be seen as Philomena's loss of control over her reproductive system, while constipation could signify her desire, having lost one child, to not let go of another one.
HOLY CRAP (no pun intended)! Are we not looking a little too deep here? I like to think I'm pretty insightful but I would NEVER have drawn that parallel. No, it doesn't take a Freudian, it takes an English major!
