The metaphor of the angel, the devil, and me represents the inner conflict between our moral values (the angel) and our desires and impulses (the devil). In Freudian psychology, the id represents our primitive, instinctual impulses that seek immediate gratification without regard for morality or consequences. Therefore, the devil in the metaphor corresponds to the id.
