Answer to Question 2

Boys resolve the Oedipus complex by identifying with their fathers. This serves several functions. First, it gives boys a protective collaboration with their fathers. Second, by identifying with desirable aspects of their fathers, boys reduce their ambivalence toward them. Thus, identification paves the way for the development of the superego. Finally, by identifying with their fathers, boys gain symbolic access to their mothers. Girls resolve the conflict of the phallic stage by identifying with their mothers. According to Freud, by identifying with their mothers, girls gain vicarious access to their fathers and increase the chance that they'll marry someone just like him.
