The superego on the other hand is a conscious thought and so the counterbalance of the id. The ego is the model structure that represents the control between the id and the superego. In terms of the theorist Lacan; he states that the superego is in fact seen as ‘the law’, that it is a form of moral guidance that is present within each

the ego-ideal and the conscience. The ego-ideal is the internalization of what society values and what a person will strive to achieve (Carlson et al. 2007) and the conscience determines which behaviours are accepted by society and punishes unacceptable and inappropriate behaviour with guilt. As a whole the superego strives to do what is right and tries to control the instincts of the id. Defence Mechanisms WHY DO WE NEED THEM? When the id and superego make conflicting demands on the ego we may

characterises a person’s responses to life situations. (O’ Brien 2011:103) The three key elements of Freud’s tripartite personality structure are the id, the ego and the superego. These three elements are used in almost every decision a person makes on a day to day basis. The structure is mostly compared to an ice berg with a small bit of the ego being above the water which would be the conscious and the id and the superego being underneath the water and unconscious. The id and the superego are also

conscious, the preconscious and the unconscious. The different forms of Alex that we see before and after the Ludovico technique can be understood in the context of the three-part structural model of the psyche conceived by Freud. That is, the id, the ego, and the superego.

The id, ego and superego are created during childhood as the child is learning about different aspects of life. The id is the pleasure principle and is present from birth. It’s drive is toward immediate gratification. Its sources of energy are Eros and Thanatos. Eros is life instinct and Thanatos is death instinct, sexual energy, and motivation. The ego mediates the demands of the id without going against the restraints that the superego has on it. The ego follows the reality principle which

Lord of the Flies: Each character in the novel Lord of the Flies represents a part of the psyche according to Freud. The power struggle between the characters displays the need for civilization to control the instinctual nature of Freud 's theory. In the novel, Jack and his tribe of hunters represent the ID of the psyche. The ID refers to the part of the mind that deals with uncoordinated, instinctual needs. Meaning, Jack and his tribe adhere to solely their primal desires. This can be seen as

with Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalysis theories of ID, Ego, and Superego. ID usually delineates the avarice and guile side of the soul. Superego, however, represents the euphonious and benign voice of the soul. The Ego is a balance of the two and is gullible to the forces of both voices. Golding uses these three forces to show that without the pureness of the conscience, human spirit is innately evil and corruptible. Thus, Golding uses Freud’s ID, Ego, and Superego to demonstrate the overall theme of

authors discuss Freud’s psychoanalytic theory in which, according to Freud, individuals acted out their desires and behaviors in response to a mental system made up of the ego, superego, and id (Cervone & Pervin, 2013). The ego seeks reality. On one hand the ego wants to meet the desires of the id, but at the same time the ego also wants to satisfy the demands of the superego.
