Well now I'm lost. Which human? But then if Papyrus and Sans represent the id and the superego, what do they represent the id/superego of? The mere fact that Papyrus is rather egocentric and impulsive while Sans judges the character wouldn't be sufficient, since the purpose of the psychological model is that the id and superego essentially operate as opposing pulls for the psyche. Even if, from what I gather, that the protagonist is a vehicle for exploring the development of the human mind, the fact that Papyrus and Sans merely exist, and do not act as opposing forces, weakens the symbolism.
