Topic > Psychoanalytic Criticism in "Two Kinds" by Amy Tan

The point of view she expressed throughout the text was her own. She was able to keep the readers understanding of the psychoanalytic theory of the story. The actions the protagonist took in the story showed us how this affected her adult self and how the issue developed a rebellious nature over time. Even years after the recurring events occurred, her actions as a child had an effect on both mother and daughter. This theory gives readers the idea that things that happen to people in childhood can contribute to the way they behave later
