 I've always read DDS as an Oedipal tale. He hates his stepfather (who is his
 rival for his mother), loves his departed mother (to whom he refers in his
 job application as his wife), remembers lunch with his mother as life's
 sweetest moment,has allusions to the castration complex  (dentist pulling
 teeth, painting where the tongue comes out)and falls in love with a nun.
 I tell you, JDS is a constant source of richness for we old Freudians!
