Paragraphs in the Works

 Here's a paragraph that I wrote last week about the episode, "Time Enough At Last" from the hit series, The Twilight Zone, for my final reflective essay for this class.

    In the episode, "Time Enough At Last" from the hit series, The Twilight Zone, Bemis, the main character seems to suffer from an undeveloped super ego. A superego as defined by Sigmund Freud, the most famous psychology theorist, is, "the part of a person's mind that acts as a self-critical conscience, reflecting social standards learned from parents and teachers." Whats this means is that a person with an underdevloped super ego will have, "little control over anti-social behaviour..." In this case, we can see Bemis seemed like a genuine person and all he wanted was to read his books in peace as well as connect with others while doing so. It can be seen when his wife rips up his copy of the poetry book. Even though she scribbled it and ripped it up before his very eyes, he was still willing to go with her to the Phillip’s house to play cards and didn’t resent her, for he went to their home after the hydrogen bomb, perhaps hoping that she was alive. It is possible that it  And at the same time, he continued to keep wanting to read, even after being warned that he would be fired if he was caught reading. This shows displays of an under-developed superego as he does things that are not "socially acceptable" as well as lacking the ability to read the room. Therefore, it was not needed for poor Bemis to have the fate that he endured. As a bookworm I understand his pain.
