Paper Summary:

This paper presents a detailed examination of the main ideas of Sigmund Freud and how those ideas can be applied to the life of the "Star Wars" character, Darth Vader. The writer looks at some of the actions taken by the character and holds them against the theories of Sigmund Freud to explain Vader's personality and actions.

From the Paper:

"The id, the ego and the superego were perhaps the most famous theories of Freud. Darth Vader demonstrates all three concepts in the movie series throughout his life. The id is demonstrated when he displays the instincts to love his son. He displays a sliver of good and right when he doesn't want to kill his own son. A seeming evil being with no feelings whatsoever suddenly develops the instinct to protect that son. It is human instinct and one he was born with which comes from Id."
