It also applies Freud’s theory on triparttie ego defense mechanism. Characters are treated like human being and analyzed psychologically. The analysis started by findings the id, ego, and superego for both protagonist and antagonist. Then, the ego defense mechanism and internal conflicts of protagonist and antagonist are also analyzed. The results showed that the protagonist and antagonist have unique defense mechanism. Sherlock as the protagonist experienced repression, displacement, and reaction formation. While Eurus as the antagonist experienced regression in her hallucination. Those ego defense mechanisms caused internal conflicts for both characters.
