The id is the part of the mind that is responsible for our instinctual desires and drives. It operates on the pleasure principle, seeking to maximize pleasure and minimize pain. In this scenario, Eliza's desire for the cake and her disregard for her roommate's expectations suggest that her id was in control of her actions.
