Detailed explanation-1: -According to Freud’s psychoanalytic theory, the id is the primitive and instinctual part of the mind that contains sexual and aggressive drives and hidden memories, the super-ego operates as a moral conscience, and the ego is the realistic part that mediates between the desires of the id and the super-ego.
Detailed explanation-2: -EGO: For Freud, the ego is “the representative of the outer world to the id” ("Ego and the Id” 708). In other words, the ego represents and enforces the reality-principle whereas the id is concerned only with the pleasure-principle.
Detailed explanation-3: -The ego eventually emerges to moderate between the urges of the id and the demands of reality. The superego, or the aspect of personality that encompasses internalized values and morals, emerges to try to push the ego to act in a more virtuous way.
Detailed explanation-4: -The id provides the drives for behavior, the superego strives for moral perfection, and the ego works to strike a balance between those two needs and the demands of reality. A healthy, well-functioning personality is all about striking a need between the id, ego, and superego.
