The way Ralph fights for democracy is an example of how the Ego would want a democracy so that everyone has input. He balances Jack (Id) and Piggy (Superego) and the littluns. He helps Piggy create rules that keep them from savagery and is mainly on the side of the Superego though not as passionate and occasionally succumbs to the Id but usually repents later. He tries to create a civilization but tries to mollify Jack by making him the leader of the Hunters. He protects democracy and tries to make the best of their surroundings. He tries to fairly keep the little ones safe and prevent Jack from resting control. Ralph is the democratic leader of the boys. In short, all of his actions are exactly those of a little and undeveloped child who is ruled by the Id. Jack tries to get power by preying on fears of the beast with out thinking of how devastating this could be to the littluns. He reacts against order and always wants his way at the cost of society. He is willing to resort to unlawful activities to get what he wants. He does not want to wait and he hates to be instructed in morality by the Superego (Piggy). He hit Piggy (the Superego) when Piggy told him he shouldnвЂ™t have let the fire go out. He refuses to listen to how this is bad or how he should do something else. He becomes a monomaniac and is obsessed with his desire to kill a pig. In the beginning JackвЂ™s craving for power becomes evident. Jack represents the Id, Ralph represents the Ego and Piggy represents the Superego. Three of the boys come to represent different things in the story. The boys are removed from outside influence. The younger you are the more completely ruled by the Id than you are later. In The Lord of the Flies the boys are stranded on an island while their sense of morality is not fully formed. The Id, The Ego and The Superego in The Lord of the Flies. The Superego is like the rules that you must follow, this is basically morality. The Superego- The Superego is conscience, when you are little and entirely ruled by the Id, the Superego is like your parents saying, 'That isn't right'. The Ego- The Ego plays the part of the middleman the Ego must balance the desires of the Id, the conscientiousness of the Superego and what is available. When the Id wants something the Id does not listen to any objections. The Id does not think of how this could be bad in the long term or to others.

The Id is like a small child with no sense of delayed gratification and conscience. The Id- Carnal desires, desires for food, warmth, clothing, etc. The Id, the Ego and the Superego are all part of FreudвЂ™s theory that the mind has three parts.
