In the novel, Lord of the Flies, by William Golding, Jack, Ralph, and Piggy are characters who grow and change throughout the course of the novel. Jack‘s actions to satisfy his desires affect Ralph in his decisions, which challenges Piggy’s abilities to help, ultimately ending up destroying the society. In the novel Jack’s id, Ralph’s ego, and Piggy’s superego show certain components that make up their…

The mediator, the ego. Developing around the same time as the superego, the ego forms as a child realizes that others have the same needs and feelings as itself. Inman’s ego plays a large role in his life. During his time travelling home, it is reasonably pushed and pulled by the id and superego. By suppressing the id’s urges at the right times based on what the superego understands and equally letting the id out when it is necessary, Inman’s ego makes certain that he responds properly…

These impulses, often sexual, seek to provide pleasure without regard to the cost.

almost anything else,” by J.K. Rowling. I believe this because Freud is the creator of the theories with the Id, Ego, and Superego. The Id is the reservoir of instinctual and biological urges, which are the impulses that you desire to have. The Ego is the rational, thoughtful decision-maker.

In the book The Lord of the Flies, three characters really embody these aspects. Jack, Piggy, and Ralph illustrate what the tripartite is like in real life and how it can be reflected in influentially distinguished literature. The id is the primitive pleasure seeking part of the brain. It is impulsive, lustful, and contains hidden memories…

These three aspects of personality balance each other our; therefore, allowing people to make moral decisions and not rational decisions. The id, ego, and superego establish human’s…

superego and the id, the ego is controlled by the reality principle; Ralph shows the most characteristics of the ego throughout the novel balancing the evil ideas of the id, from the views of superegos like Simon or Piggy. Henningfeld says in “An Overview of Lord of the Flies”, “Just as the superego must employ the ego to control the id, Piggy cannot control Jack on his own; he must rely on Ralph to do so.” This quote exemplifies the constant struggle between the superego and the id as they…
