1. Which part of the structure of personality does Hank display most according

to Freudian theory? Provide Evidence for your answer.


According to the famous psychologist Sigmund Freud's structure of personality, Hank

possesses a personality that has a close relation to Identity Structure. The sarcasm

Hank possesses causes him to be fixated at a point where he is aggressive. His

sarcasm also leads him to be orally sadistic. In most cases, people that are oral

aggressors are usually very argumentative and also very sadistic. These types of

people tend to have envy over other people. In a bid to dominate and manipulate

them, the efficiently use sarcasm as a tool of domination. The fixation that Hank has

is significant as a result of his upbringing by his mother during earlier years when he

was a child. Apparently, this led him to associate food with a feeling of pleasure.


2. At what stage is Hank fixated, according to the Freudian perspective? Find

evidence of fixation in the case. What would have caused the fixation?


Hank had an unusual eating behavior. He also had an additional argumentative

behavior. According to the Freudian theory, the two habits would be described as

internally motivated. To begin with, Hank is orally fixated; as a result his strange

behaviors have a direct connection to his locus of control. Hank’s strange behaviors

could also be connected to the strong belief that the events that take place in a

person’s life are as a result of factors that are controllable. As such, it can be assumed

that Hank’s fixation might have been caused by factors that are present in his life that

is controllable.

behavior’ Define and cites an example of one other defense mechanism that
