Could someone please tell me which part of Freud's Human Psyche (superego, ego, and id) Ralph was during the start, middle, and end of the novel. Also, provide a quote for each.

There was a bit of Id with Ralph at the beginning of the novel. He wanted to satisfy his own childish desires and felt a sense of freedom to indulge in what he wanted to. Ralph develops his ego through the book as he sees society falling apart. His super ego can be seen when he empathizes so much with Simon and Piggy. He risks his own life to confront Jack.
