Human personality is complex and is made up of three elements known as the id,

ego, and superego. These three elements control different parts of our minds and
behavior and arise at different points of our life. According to Freud, id is the most
important component out of the three. In Freud's view, the balance of all three
elements creates a healthy personality.

Id -

The book, Lord of the Flies, written by William Golding, is a great example of
using characters such as Jack, Ralph, and Piggy to represent Freud’s theory of the
three personalities: Id, Ego, and Superego.

In the book, we can clearly see that Jack is an example of Id personality because of
his personal compulsion to do only what he himself wanted without determining
the needs or the wants of others. In the first few chapters of the book, although he
is marginally governed by the rules of society, however, later on, he is completely
overwhelmed by his personal drive to hunt and kill, not just for the sake of
survival, but for his own greed and obsession. From here, we can see that In
Freud's psychoanalytic theory of personality, the pleasure principle acts as an
important role that is the driving force of the id which seeks immediate
gratification of all needs, wants, and urges.
