Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Freud's psychoanalytic theory, the ego is the rational, logical, and reality-oriented aspect of personality that balances the demands of the id (pleasure seeking) and the superego (rule-oriented and moral). Harry's personality traits of rationality, logic, and cunning align with the characteristics of the ego.
