Freud wrote his essay "The Uncanny" in 1919 after being impacted by World War I. In the essay, he attempts to define and explain the concept of "the uncanny" by drawing examples from literature but analyzing them through his psychoanalytic framework. However, Freud struggles to clearly define or explain the uncanny notion. The essay moves between phenomenological and psychoanalytic perspectives in an ambiguous way. Freud is unable to satisfactorily resolve the inherent contradictions and ambiguity within the concept of the uncanny. The essay leaves the reader with as much uncertainty about the uncanny as when they began reading.
