How Oedipus and Electra complex are different?
In the phallic stage, Freud speculated that at this time the child fraternizes sexual relation with parents of the opposite sex which Freud termed as the Oedipus complex for boys and Electra complex for girls.
A male child experiencing Oedipus complex tends to get sexually attracted toward his mother and has a hostility toward his father. They come to know this is unlikely, boys give up their sexual feelings for their mother and start to see their fathers as role models.
A female child experiencing Electra complex tries to act as his mother in order to get that love from his father. They have a feeling of hostility toward their mother.
Later on girls when realise that this is highly unlikely then they give up their sexual desire and start seeing their mother as a role model.
