Based on the analysis, the writer concludes that, 1) the problem faced by the major character is his struggle to reach his true love and keep the secret of that love, because it is forbidden love. It causes him lived with anxiety, because he always tries to hide his true identity. 2) The superego dominates more Ennis’s personality than his id in taking decision. So that he fells more anxious of social punishment, because his decision always considers moral and social norms.
