The Superego In The Movie Regarding Henry

When Henry was first taken home, he was mainly concerned with himself and learning how to read, write, and get around. Once he figured that out, he started to learn about the superego. His lawyers told him about the hidden evidence in the case and he began to piece together who the old Henry was. Similarly, Henry learned about his affair with Linda at the law firm, and he really had a sense of who he was and who he was going to be moving into the future. Henry even went back to fix his old case. When the law firm would not let him, he quit his job and decided to pursue something he

Nothing intrigues Henry like before such as the red convertible, exploring or even talking to his brother. The narrator does try to convince their mother to send Henry to the doctor, but due to fear of family difference they decide against it. In the story it states “We wouldn’t get him there in the first place, I agreed, so let’s just forget about it” (Erdrich 5). The author is trying to show how most people would treat their loved ones with PTSD, because they probably did not know what it was. Although they did not know anything about this disease, the option to not do anything about it can be more costly, than if they went and got help for

Henry Turner completely changed when he was shot in the head. His Id became more prominent, therefore, he made different decisions and viewed things differently. In response to the prompt question, Henry has a simple contrast between Id and Superego. I believe this because his reactions to certain things are very simplistic and reactionary. His Id, based on pleasure, took over his mindset. Like for example, the Matthews Case. When he learned what the past Henry did to Mrs. Matthew's he felt terrible and was disgusted at who he used to be. So, he went to her home and gave her evidence to re-open the case and basically ruin the firm that Henry worked at, shortly after he said his goodbyes to the firm. This was an example of his Id reacting

Frued's theory of the human psyche is that it is made up of three parts: the id, ego, and superego. These three parts are represented in the realistic novel Lord of the Flies by William Golding. Set on a tropical island during World War II, the novel begins when schools boys from Great Britain are being flown to safety and their plane is shot down. No adults survive, and the boys are left to govern themselves and get rescued. In the novel Jack represents the id, Piggy and Simon the superego, and Ralph the ego.

Regarding Henry is a film, in which a man is given an unexpected second chance at life. Seemingly undergoing a complete mental change, Henry Turner develops in a human being that cares for the well being of others, rather than his old self that only cared for personal wealth. The Id and Superego are both seen in two different lights, one in a positive, and another in a negative display. The selfishness of the Id is seen in both a positive and negative way throughout the film, creating a more complex Id and

Henry starts out having an extreme amount of self doubt and wanting to have more courage. He has a traditional view of courage, believing that he wants others to view him as courageous and get praise from them. Henry does not want to gain courage for himself, but for others to think he is strong. He is very conflicted and struggles with his emotions, worrying that he does not want others to view him as weak and a coward, when he should be focusing on just doing his job and believing in himself.

Throughout his recovery he meets a new friend named Bradley and barely remembers anything, including his own family. Therefore, he gets a clean slate and gets to replace his personality with new experiences. The most influential person in his new life is Bradley. He is very pivotal in shaping Henry's new persona, now shaped by superego. He really cares for people and cherishes his family. Since he doesn't remember his old cheating, lying, rude ways, he's able to just be nice to everyone. He quickly learns what is socially desirable and practices those ideas. He also does a complete turn from his old habits. He quits his job because of their wrong ways of conducting business. He even lies about his memory of things and makes up something on the spot to comfort his daughter who is nervous about her school. He becomes selfless, and an example of good morality by society's

In Lord of The Flies, the id is winning the battle for the ego because of the vulnerability of the super-ego, the power of the id, and the influence it has on Ralph. In the first few chapters, the superego has full power because everyone is listening to Ralph. But slowly, Jack becomes more popular among the boys because of his hunting skills and his minimal rules. After Ralph and Jack’s fallout, power switches hands, and now the id is winning.

He first shows symptoms when Jan and Alex,his mother and his brother, come to visit him while he is away at school. They notice the early triggers such as his mistrust him clocks and technology, he takes his phone apart and explains how cell phones control society and he does not trust the use of them, along with clocks and telling time. He believes time is a false concept. Alex doesn’t see that his brother is not thinking clearly, and questions his logic with the clocks, explaining that they are just objects.Henry begins to get aggressive and confused. “Henry looked at them mushily, drawing his eyebrows together as if his mother and brother were in conspiracy not to understand him.”(Cockburn, page 17). Along with these triggers, he also heard voices from animals and trees telling him to do certain actions, Henry often felt forced to do things that he also didn’t want to do. Another example, the trees told him that he needs to strip down and jump down the Estuary, therefore he was actually never suicidal, but instead threatened by the inner voices in his head. Henry went through many episodes and was tormented by his symptoms and did many things wrong, even though he knew better.

Henry Jr was a vibrant and joyful person in the beginning. He and his brother are seen as a good time. Even though many people know about Lulu being his mother, many people still like Henry Jr. He leaves for war and comes back changed. In Chapter 9, Albertine describes her run in with him. He was an angry person who drank to rid himself of the nightmares he was having. He and Albertine sleep together and he nearly kills her from a night terror he was having. He goes home and the story of his death is told by his brother, Lyman. Lyman begins by telling about the car that Henry and Lyman bought. This car is important because it is a symbol for Henry. Lyman destroyed the car to give Henry Jr something to focus on other than the war. After Henry fixes it they decide to go for a drive like the old times. He gives details on how the trip goes. He says that it almost seemed like the only Henry again. Henry jumps into the river to cool off after laughing and dancing with Lyman. Lyman recalls the river being dark and high. He says that there are boards and other things floating in there. Henry drifts pretty far away when Lyman hears him. “‘My boots are filling’, he says. He says this in a normal voice, like he just noticed and he doesn’t know what to think about it. Then he’s gone.”(189). Lyman goes on to talk about how he pushed the car in the river. The book never says why he does this. It could be because the

“Almost from the moment he is struck, Henry starts to set aside his fearful and potent imagination and his reason... The chaos of war teaches the necessity of insensibility. “(DillingHam) Henry’s first notice of change is when he is back at the camp talking to his brothers he notices how changed they have become. He sees that his friends are no longer the outgoing, energetic youths of the day before.

The ID in Henry’s brain is very expressed after he is shot in the head while trying to buy cigarettes. After he is shot he can’t really remember how to do anything or talk until taught, So he doesn’t have the brainpower to think, Which forces him to use his ID. One example is when he is able to leave, he buys a dog and when asked why, he says “I don’t know why”. This shows that he just got the puppy
