Eng 11(S)

1. Mark LOTF Ch. 3 questions
2. Notes: Freudian undertones in Lord of the Flies

  • Id (Jack) - Ego (Ralph) - Superego (Piggy)
  • id: includes all of the instinctive and primitive behaviors.
  • driven by the pleasure principle: strives for immediate gratification of all desires, wants, and needs. 
  • If these needs are not satisfied immediately, the result is a state anxiety or tension. 
  • ego: ensures that the impulses of the id can be expressed in a manner acceptable in the real world.
  • The ego operates based on the reality principle, which strives to satisfy the id's desires in realistic and socially appropriate ways. 
  • superego: The ego ideal: rules and standards for good behaviors (include those which are approved of by parental and other authority figures.)
  • The superego acts to perfect and civilize our behavior. 
  • works to suppress all unacceptable urges of the id and struggles to make the ego act upon idealistic standards rather that upon realistic principles
3. Homework for Monday: Find evidence of id-ego-superego in pop culture (TV shows, movies, video games, books, magazines, stories) and share with the class
