Psychoanalytic criticism is a form of applied psychoanalysis, a science concerned with the interaction between conscious and unconscious process and the with laws of mental functioning. This means we not in complete control of ourselves all the time, we are affected by events and circumstances in ways we cannot fathom, and we do things for reasons we do not understand or will not admit to ourselves.
like our daily routine, we drive home everyday in the same round, then we will automatically remember the round and become unconscious behavior.
Freud's structural hypothesis about the mental functioning of personality divided into three parts: ID, ego, and superego.The ID is the basic need of personality and wants instant gratification for our wants and needs. if the needs or wants not met, a person become tense or anxious. The ego is opposite of ID, it is more focus on mortality and justice. like Bikini (ID) and Scientist's white coat (ego). The ego deal with reality, trying to meet the desires of the id in a way that is socially acceptable in the world.The superego comprises the moral precepts of our minds as well as our idea aspirations and based on morals and judgments about the right and wrong.
