Basically, the boy may feel like he is competing with the father for the belonging and possession of the mother. The boy sees the father as a threat for her affections, desires, and attentions. In terms of the psychoanalytic theory, Oedipus…

According to Kimmel (2013) Freud asserted when he suggested that boys and girls gender identities are shaped during their developmental years (p. 86). Freud’s perspective on gender development is centered in the concepts of the “id, ego, super-ego, and the external world” (p.87), which interact in different stages since the individual is born. Additionally, Freud’s explains that boys and girls undergo similar stages, oral, denial, and repression, until they reach the critical point, or phallic…

aggression (Nye, 2000, p.2). In the process of human development, the id, ego and super-ego are developed, shaping our personality. In evaluating Beth through the lens of Freud, there are a few areas that can be identified as contributors to her aggressive and hostile tendencies and sexually acting out.

burns the main character (let 's call him TMC) and tells him that he will never be able to get anywhere in life until he hits rock bottom. The Freudian theory of the id, ego and super-ego fare shown well in this movie. TMC is first satisfied with the common life of having a normal boring job and his super-ego is doing a good job.

The ego is the aspect of the human psyche that is conscious and most in touch with reality (Shiraev, 2015). The Superego is the moral guide with unconscious…

The main theoretical perspectives examined in…
