Jack Bauer

Jack Bauerr is the epitome of a dad who obsessed with struggle. Although his role as father is seen a progressive stage in society, his failure to care for his work and family in unison falter. Jack Bauer is man of more than his work-- or so he claims.

Using ideas of Freud, we see how the unconscious of Jack's fears are seen in the treatment of his family. He loves his work as much as one should another human and thus subconsciously hates the world in which he is a part of at home--a father.

Jack then acts aggressive and masculine to counteract his unconscious effeminate want for a family he can love. Jack Bauer is the powerful male character of his biggest dreams.
