1. The Hierarchy of three layers of human personality. According to Sigmud Freuds psychoanalytic theory of personality, it composed of three elements. They are known as the Id, the ego, and the superego. Id Ego Superego

1. The Id is the only component of personality that is present from birth. This aspect of personality is entirely unconscious and includes of the instinctive and primitive behaviors. It is the source of all psychic energy, making it the primary component of personality. For example if we hungry, we will attempt to eat. 2. The Ego is the component of personality that is responsible for dealing with reality. According Freud, the ego develops from the id and ensures that the impulses of the Id can be expressed in a manner acceptable in the real world. The ego functions in both the conscious, preconscious, and unconscious mind. 3. The Superego is the aspect of personality that holds all of our internalized moral standards and ideals that we acquire from both parents and society our sense of right and wrong. The superego provides guidelines for making judgments. The superego acts to perfect and civilize our behavior. 2. The analysis of dialogue Antigon Creon : As long as I am King, no traitor is going to be honored with the loyal man. But whoever shows by word and deed that he is on the State, --he shall have my respect while he is living and my reverence when he is dead. It means that people who respect to him will be respected too. It appears from Creons intrinsic personality himself. He will be angry if people do not respect him. So it can be concluded that Creon belongs to Id. Haimon: father, Reason is Gods crowning gift to man, and you are right

To warn me against losing mine. I cannot say I hope that I shall never want to say!that you Have reasoned badly. Yet there are other men Who you are not in a position to know everything That people say or do, or what they feel: Your temper terrifies themeveryone will tell you only what you like to hear. But I, at any rate, can listen; and I have heard them Muttering and whispering in the dark about this girl. They say no woman has ever, so unreasonably, Died so shameful a death for a generous act: She covered her brothers body. Is this indecent? She kept him from dogs and vultures. Is this a crime? Death?She should have all the honor that we can give her! Haimon: Not here, no; she will not die here, King. And you will never see my face again. Go on raving as long as youve a friend to endure you. Haimon say the fact about his father. He said that Creon was bad. He never heard anyone else. He only taught from one side, but never taught from the others. He told his father the goodness of Antigon to her brother, he blamed his father but he didnt do anything because he couldnt. He consciously knew that his father was wrong, but preconscious he did not know how to help her from this situation. So unconsciously he said that he would end his live. He did not help the situation moreover gave more trouble in it. Haimon was in the Ego. He only considered the reality that he saw but didnt considered the impact. Antigon: Listen Ismene: Creon buried our brothers Eteocles with military honors, gave him a soldiers funeral, And it was right that he should; but Polyneices, who fought as bravely and died at miserably, they say that Creon has sworn No one shall bury him, no one mourn for him, but his body must lie in the fields, a sweet treasure For carrion birds to find as they search for blood That is what they say, and our good Creon is coming here To announce it publicly; and the penalty Stoning to death in the public square! Antigon was conscious that Gods rule must be obeyed. Polyneices had the right to be buried in the fields in order to the body was not eaten by the birds and other animals

which like blood, but Creon as the King of Thebes forbidden it. Antigon was a kind, she taught her brother to have the same right. From this, we know that Antigon in the superego. She can know whether it is good or not, and considered the effect of it.
