According to Freud's psychosexual stages, the anal stage occurs between 18 months and 3 years of age, when the child's focus is on toilet training and the control of bodily functions. Eme's behavior of wanting everything to be in place and clean may be related to fixation during this stage, leading to an anal-retentive personality.
