Talk:Shoulder angel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

How far back does the angel-on-one-shoulder, devil-on-the-other image go? Did it originate in a political cartoon or something? A TV show? 67.10.175.242 19:06, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Anybody remember 'Hermans Head'? That show was awesome.

[edit] Shoulder Angels derived from Freud

Unless someone can source the claim that shoulder angels are derived from Freud I'm going to remove that. Personally I think that it is much older than that. -Sensemaker

[edit] Faust

I was always under the impression that they were derived from Christian morality plays from medieval Europe - most notably Marlowe's Tragical History of Doctor Faustus.XSox 20:38, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
