When she was a little child she was very interested in Science and psychology, and wanted to learn more. In 1919 she started to Analyse children. The first 3 children she Analysed were her 2 sons and her daughter which names were Melitta, Erich and Hans. When Abraham Lincoln found out that
Melanie Klein was Analysing children he said that he would support her and let her continue the Analysing. Even though she had, had a lot of successes in her life she had also had many tragic events. She had lost her sister when she was very young and her brother had also passed and she put the blame on herself for that. Then she got married and had children, then divorced and her son was killed in a climbing accident that may have been suicidal. Although she had had some highs and some lows she is still a great person to be remembered. The name Melanie Klein will still be famous.
