The Id, the Ego and the Superego are the three components of the psychic mechanism described in Sigmund Freud's configuration of the psyche. According to Freud's model of the psyche, the id is the impulsive part of the psyche; the Superego participates in the moral role; and the Ego is the pre-established portion that mediates the Id and the Superego to avoid conflict. Existentialism is the philosophy that denies that the universe has any intrinsic meaning or purpose, requiring everyone to make their life as they want it to be. In the play Waiting for Godot, an absurdist drama published in 1952, human suffrage is exemplified by the constant monotonous “waiting.” This constant waiting for a deity, which may or may not be real, generates a profound thought process in Vladimir and Estragon, who question their own existence and purpose (existentialism). As a result of Vladimir and Estragon's waiting, the inaction of the two characters creates evidence that they act as a single psyche. They act together as one mind in proceeding to the contradiction, but balance each other's actions as the course of the play proceeds. Mutual contradiction is caused by an imbalance of the psyche, which leads to inaction. Of the relationship between Estragon and Vladimir, there is only an Id and a Superego, but they lack the ego to justify and act on their decisions, so Godot is the ego they are waiting for. In Godot, Samuel Beckett employs the philosophy of existentialism by implementing Freud's theory of the divided self by connecting each part of the psyche to the characters, Estragon, Vladimir, and Godot. Estragon and Vladimir need each other to maintain the sanity they still desire. they have to continue to "wait" for Godo... middle of paper... they want to leave, but the two cannot live without each other, being an incomplete psychopath. This leaves the rest of the play almost hopeless, because all the characters do is come back the next day and “Wait. We're bored. (Raises hand.) No, don't protest, we're bored as hell, there's no denying it. Well. A diversion arrives and what do we do? … In an instant everything will vanish and we will be alone, in the middle of nowhere!” (Beckett 92). Here Vladimir and Estragon realize that they have to go through the same monotonous cycle due to their inability to act due to their unbalanced psyche. By connecting each of the three components of the psyche to Vladimir, Estragon and Godot, Beckett is able to show the existential thinking that is unconsciously exhibited by the characters due to their egolessness (Godot).
