Pennywise Character

Decent Essays
The freudian Id is representative of our most primitive urges,these being pleasure seeking and destructive urges.

Pennywise is a clown like character who comes out of hibernation every 27 years and devours children’s souls to feed himself. Pennywise is an evil creature from an unknown dimension or realm outside the boundaries of space.

This aspect is personified as the main character in Lord of the Flies, Ralph. Yet another boy who can accurately represent the id is Jack, the main antagonist of the novel.

    The Need to Keep the Id Under Control in Lord of the Flies Sigmund Freud, an Austrian neurologist, believed that humans have three parts to their personality. These three components are known as the id, the ego, and the superego. The id is selfish and doesn’t tend to other people's needs or aspirations, soley its own. Freud says the id ““knows no judgements of value: no good and evil, no morality” – only the fulfillment of immediate desires” (CommonLit). When humans reach around the age of three, they acquire what Freud calls the ego.…

    Recalling the connection between strength and power, Friedrich Nietzsche states, “Strength and Power have the ability to seduce an individual to a point where they are so intoxicated by the seduction that they are incapable of either realizing or resisting the seduction. As a result, their sense of reality has been mutated to the point of no return.” In the book, Lord of the Flies, William Golding’s philosophy is similar to Sigmund Freud's theory called psychoanalysis, which justifies the differences between id, ego, and superego. Lord of the Flies proves that man is inherently evil because the boys capitulate to their inadequate tendencies. Jack is representative of id when he disregards consequences and murderously kills a sow, Ralph displays…

    The id if often the reactions of a newborn child, "It is with considerable difficulty that I remember the original era of my being; all the events of that period appear confused and indistinct. A strange multiplicity of sensations seized me, and I saw, felt, heard, and smelt at the same time; and it was, indeed, a long time before I learned to distinguish between the operations of my various senses” (Shelley 63). The quote is said by the monster and shows that he indeed has the qualities of a newborn child, he experienced what being alive felt like. The id is a part of a person’s unconscious mind that relates to basic needs and desires. For example, when Shelley writes, “When I found this, I resolved to quit the place that I had hitherto inhabited, to seek for one where the few wants I experienced would be more easily satisfied” (Shelley…

    As the ego Billy attempts to keep in mind the moral expectations of his society in which he lives, while also keeping his instincts in check. The instincts will always make their way to the surface in some way, and for Billy this is occasionally done through violence. John Claggart identifies as the id. View him as the untamed instinct, driven by pleasure. He acts as a metaphorical “devil on the shoulder”. Described, “ [in] his heart he would seem to riot in complete exemption from the law, having apparently little to do with reason further than to employ it as an ambidexter implement for effecting the irrational” (Melville 41).…
