The id, ego and superego are created during childhood as the child is learning about different aspects of life. The id is the pleasure principle and is present from birth. It’s drive is toward immediate gratification. Its sources of energy are Eros and Thanatos. Eros is life instinct and Thanatos is death instinct, sexual energy, and motivation.

The power struggle between the characters displays the need for civilization to control the instinctual nature of Freud 's theory.

According to Lombroso’s model, criminals are born not made, and can be identified by their physical deformities such as, "enormous jaws, high cheek bones, and prominent superciliary arches.”(233) They are “throwbacks to man’s savage past,” to use Arata’s words.

What deserves attention here is Freud’s theory of humor, which has a remarkable analogy with Kim’s strange plot. He gives an example of humor as follows: “A rogue who was being led out to execution on a Monday remarked: ‘Well, this week’s beginning nicely.’'” We feel a kind of humoristic pleasure here because of, according to Freud, “an
