Intriguing heroes are plenty, villains, not so many. However, the ‘Batman’ universe gave the world a menacing yet fascinating super villain with a chalk white face, green hair, and a fear inducing Glasgow smile.

It is for this very reason that the “Joker” is such a captivating and interesting character to…

divided in three parts: the Id, ego and super-ego. The Id is the unconscious, impulsive, childlike portion of the brain that is the source of basic impulses and drives; it seeks immediate pleasure and gratification. This part clearly represents Hyde who is often compared to a child. It’s also mentioned a few times that Hyde acts like an animal (primitive instincts) ”And next moment, with ape-like fury.” The super ego is represented by Victorian England. The super ego is the moral component of…
