Sigmund Freud Quote I believe that Sigmund Freud would react in a positive way toward the quote “According to Madam Pomfrey, thoughts could leave deeper scars than 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. The Superego is the source of the conscience that inhibits the socially undesirable impulses of the Id. This goes back to the instinctual and biological urges.

Although the id, or in this case the horse, is very powerful, the ego, or horse rider, must do whatever is necessary to take the id’s desires into account and transform them into rational actions.…
