Death and pleasure—Freud's Todestrieb: "libido has the task of making the destroying instinct innocuous, and it fulfills the task by diverting that instinct to a great extent outwards… The instinct is then called the destructive instinct, the instinct for mastery, or the will to power." Few authors have spun stories of Thanatos and Eros as skillfully and powerfully as Livia Llewellyn.
