Abstract or Introduction

The paper explains the reasons behind the aggressive and revengeful action of "Unleashing the Beast"'s protagonist. The protagonist, who once appears as a peaceful person waiting for someone to sell his bike, suddenly changes into a killer.

I assume that every motivation to act violently comes from the unconscious and is activated by the external event (injury, injustice). In order to prove this assumption, I take evidence from Freud's theory of ego, superego and id that is source of aggression and death instinct. Unconscious aggression is unleashed in the story as revengeful hatred long after the injury was done.
