The character section has a thread of Stepford Smiler running through it that I don't think is appropriate.
This is more of a case of seeing three sets of three siblings and pushing them into this trope more because there are three characters than because the trope is actually in play. In short, all three examples should be removed because a Freudian Trio never comes into play in the service of the story. Luisa certainly never shows a balance but instead veers off into despair and while Isabela is aloof, we learn that it's simply a mask she wears as she is really more of a passionate artist. Both Isabela and Luisa are shown struggling emotionally with the pressure of Alma's expectations. While Mirabel does interact with each sister separately during the course of the story, they aren't functioning as a Freudian Trio to Mirabel's quest. The final example suggests Isabela (superego), Luisa (ego), Mirabel (id). Camilo is too busy being a smarmy 15-year kid to offer any emotional perspective to the story and Dolores isn't shown in any reconciliation-type mode and basically adds to the chaos during the proposal dinner. Once Antonio's gift ceremony is over, he basically disappears from the story until the Bruno vision ritual, so he's never shown to try and present the need for rules/social conventions into the story. Again, they don't serve as a Freudian Trio to the story. The next example proposes Dolores (ego), Camilo (id), Antonio (superego). Bruno is never seen trying to balance Julieta or Pepa's ideals. These three don't function as a Freudian Trio because that aren't even together and interacting until the last few minutes of the film and even then they are celebrating Bruno's return or rebuilding the Casita.
The first example proposes Julieta (superego), Pepa (id) and Bruno (ego). Bones (id), Spock (superego), and Kirk (ego). One of the classic examples of this trope in play during story telling is in Star Trek. The Freudian Trio consists of three characters: one who acts emotionally and instinctively (id), one who acts with cold, passionless logic who follows the rules and social conventions (superego) and one who reconciles the two conflicting ideals (ego). Number 2 is essential as to whether the trope is actually in play.įor Encanto we have three entries for Freudian Trio that all basically fail number 2. When doing this you have to make sure of two things.ġ) Do the characters fit well into the personality types required by the trope?Ģ) Most importantly, Do these characters actually function as the group trope in a way that is meaningful to the story? One of the challenges that occurs when cataloging the tropes of a work that has a large cast is the tendency to start going through the many 3, 4, and 5 person tropes and start assigning characters to those tropes.
