Question

Ill give u 40 Points pls answer fast.

The intrigue of Macboth lies in the paychological development of the characters, particularly Macbeth, rather than the plot. How do Macbeth's character and actions fit the id, Ego, and Superego thus far in the play (consider his actions in both Acts and ID?​

Answer 1

he lies about that The Id, the Ego, and the Super ego are all illustrated through Macbeth. Macbeth's desire to be king and kill Duncan is an example of the Id. The Ego is represented through Macbeth's realization of the consequences of killing Duncan. It can also be seen through his need to follow Lady Macbeth. He must follow her if he wants to continue to socialize with her. Macbeth's Super ego can be established through the fact that he knows killing Duncan is wrong. The internal conflict of Macbeth builds upon the theme that there are consequences to all choices (moral order). all of this because he won't just admit the truth that he killed someone.

The internal conflict experienced by Macbeth is caused by all three of the components of personality: the Id, Ego, and Super Ego. He desires to be the king like the witches said he would; this is an example of the Id, because he is seeking this pleasure through an aggressive urge to destroy Duncan. The Ego and the Super Ego contradict the Id, though. The Super Ego comes into play when Macbeth realizes that murdering the king would be wrong--that he would be going against his own morals if he completed the action. The Ego of Macbeth's personality allows him to realize that there will be consequences if he kills Duncan, but that there are safe solutions so that the Id (his desire to take the throne) will be satisfied. Macbeth's internal conflict might build upon the themes of moral order (that there are consequences to all choices), good versus evil within an individual, and unchecked ambition (that there are consequences of seeking power).
