What Ralph represents in a Freudian analysis of "Lord of the Flies" (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ego

(Other definitions for ego that I've seen before include "One's image of oneself" , "One's sense of self-importance" , "Self-esteem, sense of self" , "Inflated pride" , "Conscious mind" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
