Throughout the movie “Regarding Henry”, the character demonstrates a psychological battle between the id and superego. Before Henry got shot, he was a hard-headed, successful lawyer continuing in the family firm. He experiences differences in his personality after nearly dying from a shot to the brain. While Henry begins to learn every aspect of life again, he transitions from his old characteristics to his new out look at the world. Henry’s old traits suggest selfishness and ruthlessness which seem to embed themselves in his id scenes post injury. Once he leaves the hospital, he wants to explore this new world he is not used to. He walks up to a window and purchases a puppy he wants. He exemplifies the id here because he impulsively gets something he yearns for. When his daughter Rachel tells him she leaves for school soon, Henry’s immediate reaction is to beg for her to stay. Displaying the id, he chooses his feelings over Rachel’s; he later takes her out of the school because he wishes to be a family again.

A dog would have provided Henry with unconditional love - something in short supply around his house - and would have been the perfect companion. The problem was, his parents did not want dog, which would have been another obligation and something else to take care of. As emotionally detached as his parents were, something else to take care of was just not desirable.
