Libido may be terrorized from within or from an outside threat. 'Snow White' is an example of terrorization by a stepmother or a projected super-ego. Snow White's mother wishes for a child white as snow, red as blood and black as ebony. This last seems to have been a phantasy of death and she dies as Snow White is born. Snow White is conceived in great hate, which is satisfied by her mother's death. Then the hate appears in the stepmother, who also destroys herself in competition with Snow White. The various threats to Snow White's life represent oral, anal and genital stages of her development.
