ROMANTIC STORY-TELLER OF THE IMAGINATION Sigmund Freud was a novelist with a scientific background. John Irving A GREAT UN-SETTLER Human beings have a nave self-love that is being shaken at the hands of science. First, there was Copernicus, who showed us that our world was not the center of the cosmos, then there was Darwin, who showed us that human progress was no different than animals. Finally, Freud suggested, his research delivers the third and most wounding blow to mankind by proving that the ego [our rational mind] is not even master in its own house.

Slide 23

The proverb tells us that one cannot serve two masters at once. The poor ego has a still harder time of it; it has to serve three harsh masters, and has to do its best to reconcile the claims and demands of all three. These demands are always divergent and often seem quite incompatible; no wonder that the ego so frequently gives way under its task. The three tyrants are the external world, the super-ego and the id. When one watches the efforts of the ego to satisfy them all, or rather, to obey them all simultaneously, one cannot regret having personified the ego, and established it as a separate being. It feels itself hemmed in on three sides and threatened by three kinds of danger, towards which it reacts by developing anxiety when it is too hard pressed.
