Anna Freud is Sigmund Freud’s sixth and youngest child. She became the caretaker of the psychoanalytical legacy and founded, with or against Melanie Klein, child psychoanalysis. However, all of this did not occur without ambiguity and controversy. She was in analysis with her father, and in 1922 she wrote a paper about her fantasies, just as Freud did before (A Child Is Beaten, 1919). She was secretly labeled and criticized as an old maid and as a lesbian. The link between her analysis with Freud and her being chosen to represent psychoanalysis was publicly questioned, as she was caught in this legacy. Did she sacrifice her own life and sublimate her libido for him, therefore becoming his “Antigone,” as he named her? In this paper, I analyze our gaze on her in regard to the paradox between love in reality and faithfulness to memory. Although her attachment to her father’s legacy deprived her in a way, recent papers show how she lived a long life after his death, a life in which she loved, created and found her own path.
