The Id, ego, and super ego are represented in Fight Club in a very physiological way. The id is represented within Edward and Tyler, Edward wanting sleep and being materialistic, and Tyler by doing whatever he wants by fighting and terriozing others. The Ego is represented when Edward wants to do the right thing but struggles because of Tyler. The super ego comes into play when he realized what he has done by the end of the story and wants to prevent the bombs from exploding.
In Fight Club the id is represented in different ways. Edward and Tyler want immediate gratification for certain needs and desires. Edward has the desire and need to sleep, and buy furniture from Ikea. In order for him to get sleep Edward attends support meetings even though he is not sick at all. Even though there are different ways to achieve sleep he choose do take the shortest rout to getting extra sleep. Tyler is very violent and is the creator of fight club. He seems to have this desire of fighting with others. This represents the id in the movie.
The ego is shown in Fight club in various ways. When Edward wants to do the right thing or begins to change for the better Tyler gets in his way and stops him. Edward often ends up to the opposite of the ego and ends up relying on the id to get though certain problems. When Tyler pours acid on Edwards hand Tyler forces him to let go of the socially appropriate ways of doing things. Having a Nice house which he burned down. Also the nice job he had kept balance in his life that he no longer has.
In Fight Club the super ego is represented by the end of the movie. When Edward finds out he is Tyler and realized all the bad things he has done he begins to think with the super ego. He wants to stop the bombings from happening which shows he is thinking with the super ego, putting gratification aside and doing the right thing. He shows this by going to the police and telling them who he is and how the bombings are going to happen.
