Psyche uses survival narratives—from folklore to literary retellings—to examine how desperation reshapes identity and forces moral compromise. She contrasts survival as a primal imperative that strips away social conditioning with the "survival" of ego concerns in comfortable modern life, treating the theme as a mirror for understanding what humans will actually do when stakes become real.
