  1. The personality of main character in Sorry, Wrong Number play is analyzed in relation to Freudian psychoanalytic approach, it is seen that central characters of the play have a direct relationship with the Freudian concepts of id, ego, and superego. When these character is analyzed carefully, it is found that id, ego and superego do not work in harmony. They are not able to balance these three parts of the human psyche. It looks as same as Sorry, Wrong Number play. The dominant structure of personality in this play is ID. It shows about Agnes feeling to her husband (ID: Eros). She always thinks about her husband life and keep worrying it (ID: Mortido). She feels the murder will kill the other woman (ID: Libido). But actually, it is for her (ID: Eros). Because of her love to his husband, she doesn’t think purely about this case (ID: Libido). Finally the regret comes to her and the fact is the murderer will kill her by her husband offering (ID: Thanatos).
