Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, had many unique and sometimes controversial ideas.

As a result of Golding’s fascination with the human psyche, his characters perfectly parallel Freud’s psychological theory of the id, superego, and ego.

Yet another boy who can accurately represent the id is Jack, the main antagonist of the novel. A major distinction between the two is the way they rule over the group. Ralph attempts to lead the group through order and balance. He does this by establishing rules, such as giving “the conch to the next…

parts or layers, three to be exact. In the Lord of the Flies, William Golding uses psychological allegory to illustrate that people who are exposed to a society with no structure have their true human psyche comes out.

In Lord of the Flies, after the group of boys had been stranded on the island for a number of days, certain boys’ true personalities were revealed. One of these boys whose inner psyche is shown is the runt of the litter,…

The id, being power hungry and destructive…
