In my project, I chose to portray this main conflict and the inclusion of the id, ego, and superego within Oedipus' thoughts. Since the play takes place in an older time and many of the torture devices used were medieval torture devices, I represented Oedipus' mental fight with a torture rack as the central part. Oedipus, represented by the wooden mannequin, is being pulled in four different directions by the id, ego, superego, and conflict. The Id is represented by the red devil ball because it…

Leonardo Di Vinci once said, “The greatest decision men suffer is from their own decisions.” Deception can occur in everyday life and is an important process for building relationships or in general social interaction. In the Shakespearean play, Hamlet uses deception to reveal the role that Claudius had in the death of his father. Hamlet uses deception to gain the knowledge needed to indict Claudius with the murder of his father, while Claudius is using deception to cover up his role within…

Psychoanalytic Criticism of Piggy The ‘Superego’ of one’s conscience can otherwise be known as the manners and kind side of a personality. It is considered the opposite of the ‘Id’ which is the wild side that drives a man to do sorts of unspeakable things. Within William Golding’s The Lord of the Flies, Piggy, is one of the only characters on the deserted island that appears to not contain his ‘Id’ side. Although, many moments in the text give us evidence that Piggy is very in touch with his…

Christian Park Assignment #6 In this paper, I will define two concepts of personal identity, one being the Ego Theory, and the other being the Bundle Theory. By presenting examples of teletransportation and split-brain patients, I will show that the Bundle Theory is more plausible, which indicates that our natural beliefs of personal identity are false and inconclusive. According to the Ego Theory, a person existing over time is explained by a continued existence of a subject of experiences.…

Equality. Most importantly, ego is the central idea of the book. So, the word “ego” is in the center of my collage. Ego translates to “I” in Latin, but the exact definition is a person’s sense of self-importance. Every person has an ego, but not everyone let's theirs show. In Anthem, society was forbidden to show their ego, so they acted as if it did not exist. In the end, Equality’s sense of ego is what drove him to release himself from a toxic society. Our egos lead us in a path of…

Ego can be defined as, self-importance, conceit, a person’s thinking, feeling, or self-esteem. Our society has given the word egoist a negative connotation. Most would define an egoist as an “arrogantly conceited person,” who generally is not someone that is desired to be around or to be known as. However, the true definition of an ego is one’s self, and an egoist is someone who believes it’s importance. In Anthem, a dystopian novel by Ayn Rand, the conflict between the individual man’s ego…

Naturalism unlike realism adopts more a philosophical position and holds man responsible for his actions and negates divine interventions. Naturalism considers human beings to be determined by their heredity and environment. The individual is at the mercy of determining social and economic forces. Each human being is determined by heredity and environment and "subject to the social and economic forces in the family, the class, and the milieu into which that person is born" (Abrams 153).…
