Conduct a Freudian Personality Analysis

In class, we conducted a Freudian analysis of Britney Spear's personality. I invite you now to undergo your your own Freudian analysis of a person of your choice. The person you choose to analyze can be a celebrity, a famous person from history, or a fictional character from a film or book. Try to include the concepts of the psychic structures (Id, Superego, and Ego), defense mechanisms, and fixations from the psychosexual stages.

I forgot to say that you could also analyze a politician if you want.

The celebrity I choose is Paris Hilton. Paris Hilton is in many ways like Britney. Her Id is super big that caused her to make the sex tapes. Her ego is bigger than her super ego because she does not think logically she does things to have fun, and her super ego is small. Paris does drugs and drinks a lot so this shows she had an oral fixation. She doesn't wear underwear which shows she had a phallic fixation. She has sex with everyone which shows she has a latent fixation. This is why think Paris Hilton is like Britney.

Anait, this was a very interesting analysis of Paris Hilton. I agree, she is like Britney in many ways.
