Answer:

Alex most clearly demonstrates a weak superego.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Freud's theory, an individual's psyche is divided in 3:

  • Id: instincts
  • Ego: reality
  • Superego: morality

In this case, Alex steals and does not feel guilty or remorseful. These traits would not be showing if his superego, which is our moral side, was strong so it can be concluded that it is weak in him.
