Sigmund Freud's Wolfman- The Untold Story

            
             There is an underlying meaning in most things. If the meaning is not seen then one can usually assign one. But is that not the meaning of "read between the lines" type thinking? Am I contradicting myself? Lets think for one second that if one sees a buried meaning then one has personally assigned that meaning. In conclusion: all things, stories, situations have more than one meaning. Reading From the History of an Infantile Neurosis [The "Wolfman"] by Sigmund Freud is very similar to reading the above few sentences: confusing, but it also speaks huge volumes. Realizing the unseen story and how it unfolds is a puzzle. The truth of the prevalent sexual abuse is startling and needs to be told. The parallel universe of deceit and hurt of the sister and the Wolfman are both very disheartening and wrong. .
             One can discover the Wolfman's mysterious sister as a black hole of maybes and what ifs, but so much can be learned through her very miniscule role. She is the first to try and seduce the Wolfman. She explains her reason to seeing Nanja throw the gardener on his back and do it to him. It seems apparent that somehow the 5-year-old little girl was well beyond her experience for such an age. We see with the cousin's account on page 219:.
             In a conversation about his sister, a cousin, more than a decade older, had told him that he could remember very well what a forward, sensual little thing she had been. As a child of four or five she had once sat down on his lap and unfastened his trousers to take hold of his penis.
             The sister is now connected to two incidents of showing sexual behavior, the wolfman and the cousin, and displaying a very forward notion that she has been exposed to sex. Why does Freud not divulge deeper of the suspicions that there was abuse occurring to the Wolfman's sister? It seems that the instance of abuse to the sister could place the Wolfman in a similar category whether he was abused and blocked it mentally or was subconsciously being aware of the abuse occurring to his sister.
