A freudian View of Cruel Inten

In a movie like "Cruel Intentions" which is filled with sex and sexual relations between its characters, a man such as Sigmund Freud would relish in the realization that the characters have about their own sexuality. The two main characters Sidney and Sebastian begin the movie with little more than a basic yearning to fulfill the desires of their ID. Both characters express overtly sexual behavior and desires to be at the top of the social class through whatever means necessary. The lack of parental influence exhibited in the movie about high school students explains why the two characters have minimal development in their egos. The actions of Sidney, in particular, exemplify the ID characteristics. When a man scorns Sidney she immediately devises a plan for revenge that will give her satisfaction by causing pain to others. These apparent actions of the ID are also tied in with actions of the superego. Sidney attempts to take actions to fulfill the desires of her ID. Freud states these as actions of the superego. Sidney's casual


In conclusion at the onset of the movie the two main characters seem to be products of their own Ids and little more. The movie shows the rapid progression of their personalities. This rapid change is linked to the emotional pain that occurs to each character all through the movie. On the surface the characters in this movie appear to be playing in-depth mind games with one another. Upon closer evaluation from a psychoanalytical stance it becomes apparent that all of the characters are merely moving through typical developmental stages, each being at different points in their own personality development. The intelligence and intricity of these character's actions are not valid showcases for their personality traits.

Sebastian relates to his stepsister, Sidney, by initially expressing a passionate desire for the lustful conquest of her body. When Sebastian begins to have feelings for another individual, he sees that the lustful desires for his "forbidden" stepsister are no longer present, and they were simply the need to satisfy his animalistic ID yearnings.
