Examining this may lead to future behavioral problems. Hamlet's obvious impulsive reactions are manipulated to understand unconscious desires and actions. The mind is divided into three components: Id, Ego and Superego. He compared the conscious and subconscious to an iceberg. This iceberg has both the superego and the id swallowed by the water. The id is present at birth and is entirely part of the unconscious mind, it is guided by the pleasure principle. For example the desire to be clean and nourished. The Superego is the moral principle that decides the right decision. This iceberg represents how these two are unconscious and do not come directly to the surface. In the middle of the iceberg is the Ego, the preconscious, this is the area you feel comfortable showing to the world. The ego is responsible for managing the reality principle, which works to satisfy the impulses and desires of the ego in a more realistic way. Id is the most common driving factor in Hamlet. At the beginning of the play Hamlet's Id asks him to kill himself, as he states "Oh, that this too solid flesh would melt, melt and resolve itself into dew." Since the id drives him to suicide, he decides that killing others would give him more satisfaction. It is also prevalent in English literature's most famous soliloquy "to be or not to be...." Hamlet struggles to end all his pain through suicide or to overcome it. As stated earlier, the id judges the situation and finds the ideal that will satisfy/please the being. In this case the satisfactory choice is to push him to kill himself and to kill whoever did it
