The main character of psychoanalysis is consciousness. According to Freud, there are three ideas in relation to the human that are id, ego and superego. Id is the desire of the person. It is often being related to something that a person need. On the other hand, superego is the moral values of the person. It led the person to hold strong to something that is right. Ego is between the id and superego that work as to balance the id and ego. Ego is also referring to the preconscious structure of a human.
However, it is very difficult to achieve the balance between id and superego. That is where the Defense Mechanism comes into place. It is a tool that helps to achieve ego, a balance. The main feature is the denial. Human tends to deny the situation or things that one fear of. Besides that, the person probably will repress the situation to pretend that it did not happen at all.

Harry's Ego
The wording needs a little bit more thought, (or perhaps I simply need to learn more of what is accepted?) in order to be more understanding and comprehensive.
The piece has a very good opening with detail given to the definitions of id, ego, and superego. The definitions help in understanding the rest (for non psychology majors).
I think it is also missing a clear and explicit ending to hold the piece together. The ending does have the major ties to the rest of the piece, but has very little depth for an analytical work.
I do however believe that the topic and analysis are rather clever, and that it was interestingly put together.
