Report: Loss of Identity portrayed in a range of literature For my report I chose to look at the loss of Identity portrayed in a range of different literature.

An ego defense mechanism becomes pathological only when its persistent use leads to maladaptive behavior such that the physical and/or mental health of the individual is adversely affected. The purpose of ego defense mechanisms is to protect the mind/self/ego from anxiety‚ social sanctions or to provide a refuge from a situation with which one cannot currently cope.

For example‚ if you got very angry with someone‚ then the demands from your id might be to attack them but that is not very realistic‚ or socially acceptable. So the ego would take over‚ and find a way that the id’s demand

ENG 4U1 March 25‚ 12 Under The Floor Boards: The Id‚ Ego and Superego What makes us act on impulse? What as human makes us decide wrong from right?

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein explores evil by having the protagonist create a monstrous alter-ego. This ultimately shows that if people do not keep the evil side of themselves in control then they will fall victim to it.
