This is from a Yeats study guide.
Given this is the same principle (in terms of reading), it should be plenty relevant to your question.

Fruedian / Psychanalytical Reading
A fruedian reading of a text will focus on how the emotions of the thoughts of the persona / character in the text emerge out of their past experiences that have been repressed (not consciously dealt with).
In addition, this type of reading might focus on the text as indicative of the authors needs and desires, both conscious and unconscious. Therefore, the psychological profile of the compser relates directly to the meanng of the text.
The role of language in how we understand ourselves and the world we live in is a concern of psychoanalytical theory. These theorist suggest that language, like the unconscious, contributes to a division betweenthe world and how we see it an our actual self compared to how we see oursleves because there is always a gap between what is real and how it is named.
