How a chapter works
It starts with a moment you’ll recognise and the quote everyone gets wrong. Then a philosopher and Freud each make their case, argue it out, and we see who comes off better. After that: where you’ve already seen it on screen, the no-jokes version, and homework you’ll actually want to do.
