These three sections interact with each other and result in the complexity of humans behaviors. Provided that the three elements cannot be satisfied or cannot be dealt with in an appropriate way， peoples inner conflicts tend to take place， and even a tragedy can occur.This thesis aims to make an analysis of Jude Fawley in Jude the Obscure through Freudian Triple Personality Theory made up of “Id， Ego and Superego”. To start with， this paper will briefly introduce Thomas Hardy and Jude the Obscure. Then， the author will elaborate on Jude Fawleys Id， Ego and Superego. Finally， the author concludes and proves the thesis that Id， Ego and Superego in Jude fight intensely all the way， which plunges him into a Sargasso sea of calamity.Key Words： Freud， Id， Ego， Superego， Jude Fawley， Jude the Obscure， conflict， tragedyI. IntroductionA. A brief introduction to Thomas Hardy and his worksThomas Hardy （1840-1928） was born and brought up in Dorset， an agricultural district in the south of England. Hardy himself divided his novels into three series， one of which he entitled “Romance and Fantasies”. The second group is called “Novels of Ingenuity”. The third group of his fiction， “Novels of Character and Environment”， contains the most significant of Hardys works， including Jude the Obscure.B.A brief introduction to Jude the ObscureAs the last Hardys longer novels， Jude the Obscure is the most pessimistic and of social significance. The story is one of the defeated hopes and unrealized aspirations of the hero who belongs to the laboring masses. Jude is a stonemason， yet his yearning for learning is great. However， he is weak in will power. He gets entangled in a love affair with Arabella and is deceived into marrying her. Soon she deserts him. Later， he falls in love with his cousin， Sue， a young school teacher. But she is already married to an elderly schoolmaster， Phillotson. Then Sue leaves Phillotson and lives together with Jude. They have deep affection for each other， but find it impossible to have real happiness， for the moralities of Victorian society do not allow them to do so. Then the children of the couple die tragically， and Sue， filled with sorrow， sees this as the punishment of God for their sin and returns to Phillotson. Jude sinks lower and lower， and ends up with miserable death. C. THESISThis thesis aims to make an analysis of Jude Fawley in Jude the Obscure through Freudian Triple Personality Theory made up of “Id， Ego and Superego”. To start with， this paper will interpret Jude Fawleys Id， Ego and Superego. Then， the author will elaborate on how these three parts of Jude collide with each other， thus leading to his inner conflicts and tragic life. The author concludes and proves the thesis that Id， Ego and Superego in Jude fight intensely all the way， which plunges him into a Sargasso sea of calamity.II. Analysis of Jude Fawley in Jude the ObscureA. Jude Fawleys IdId follows pleasure principle. The core of triple personality is sexual instinct or libido. With regard to sexual relationship， it is obviously noted that he displays indetermination. Facing women， he is easily tempted， which is a fatal defect in his character. In spite of his love for Sue， Judes relationship with Arabella is equally complicated. He still retains some tenderness for Arabella and once even spends the night with her rather than meeting Sue. He does not love her as much as he cares for Sue， but he sleeps with her when she returns from Australia. In the mean time， he is also paradoxical facing his cousin Sue Bridehead. Jude meets Sue and tries not to fall in love with her， but he cannot control himself and arranges Sue to work with Phillotson in order to keep her in Christminster. The distinction between Arabella and Sue reveals both Judes mental and physical parts， which lead him to disparate tracks. Jude is incorrigible since he is split between two rails which will never meet （Morgan 171）.B. Jude Fawleys EgoEgo is based on actuality. It reflects Jude in reality. He is only a stonemason in life. However， he doesnt take his class and financial affordability into consideration. Even though he is intelligent and well-read through independent study， Christminster will not accept him because he belongs to the working class. Jude is an innocent young man who aspires to things greater than his background allows. He disregards actuality and is immersed in his dream world while the reality will never ever allow him to realize his dream （Thurley 158）. He resists
