Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: Id‚ Ego and Superego In Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Robert Louis Stevenson uses three main characters to represent Freud’s theory of the Superego‚ Ego and the Id to warn readers of the dangers of not playing by society’s rules.

tenet is based on Sigmund Freud’s structural model of the psyche which identifies the id‚ the ego and the superego as the three theoretical constructs in terms of whose activity and interaction mental life is described. According to such model‚ the irrational‚ instinctual trends of the mind are the id; the rational‚ realistic part of the psyche is the ego; and its critical and moralizing function is the superego.

theory as he developed the id‚ ego‚ and superego character types. The id makes up our unconscious mind (Cube of Space: Psychological Space: The Metapsychology of the Cube of Space: The Dimensions of Consciousness & the Structure of Human Experience: With Qualia) and all the “evil” that‚ if not controlled‚ will seep out into the conscious mind.

composed of three main parts: Id‚ Ego‚ and Superego. His personality theory was based on the belief that all human behavior is a outcome of the interactions of these three components. Freud believed in order to be free of conflict you must achieve balance between your Id‚ Ego and Superego. The id is the primitive section of the human psyche and is present at birth. The id operates entirely off of impulses and desires. It functions solely in the unconscious part of the mind. The id has no understanding of

self-preservation to meet the hunger and thirst and the Eros the driving sexually urges. These two drives reside in the id which contains all of our most primal instincts. According to Freud‚ we are born with our Id. The id is especially important as newborns because‚ it allows us to have our basic needs met. The id wants whatever feels good‚ with no consideration of reality. When a child is hungry‚ the id wants food‚ and therefore the child cries. When the child is needs to be changed‚ the child’s basic instinct

are our id desires. The id is an irrational part of our personality and demands satisfaction and is ruled by the pleasure principle. The ego is a conscious part of the personality‚ as a child interacts with the world and the constraints of reality. It is therefore governed by the reality principle. The superego embodies our conscious sense of right and wrong. The id‚ ego and superego work together‚ for example‚ if there was some money on a table with a person sat at the table with it‚ your id desire

Freud’s Theories on Personality Sigmund Freud developed psychodynamic theories on personality. He believed that there are three elements to our personality. The first is the ID‚ the second is the ego‚ and the third is the superego. He believed that each element keeps the others in check; therefore if all elements are well balanced the person had a healthy personality. Freud also developed a theory in which he believed our subconscious developed defense mechanisms to help us cope with anxiety

Freud found out that one important factor which is a concerns of intra-psychic was anxiety. For anxiety not to occur then the ego needs to continue a controlled balance of the ID and superego. At this point an important role takes place which is ego defence mechanisms. One defence mechanism is repression which is (what Freud really said‚ David Stafford-Clark‚ 1965) threatening impulses which are repressed in the unconscious‚ even though

These three levels of personality and thought play a role in who each person is and how they behave. Most people use these three components of personality every day of their lives. The id is the first aspect to develop. It is best described as the primitive aspect of personality where
