[1]The extensive War theme and Hero image in his works give him an image of adoring male but ignore female. The domestic and overseas research scholars have made an in-depth study of Hemingway’s female consciousness.In fact，though Hemingway was well-known by his “Tough man”, but he did not ignore female at all. He has manifested the intense female consciousness in his inchoate short story, also paid boundless attention, like < Up In Michigan > <Hills Like White Elephants ><Cat in the rain>, All of those works mirror female issues, care about the female destiny and which show the pains and wars from the sexual conflicts. <Cat in the rain> is the representative masterpiece of Hemingway and which is caring much about female consciousness and survival.Then author, I, will get deep into the heroine’s inward activity through Freud Personality Theory to find out the source of her awakening Female Consciousness.1、The short description of the fiction:This fiction mainly talk about that there is a pair of American couple who are traveling in Italy, but for the sake of the bad weather, they can only stay at a hotel. In the hotel, the husband read on bed, the American wife stood at the window looking out.[2]And see a cat by chance crouched under one of the dripping green tables so that it would not be dripped on. By the sense of compassion, the wife decides to embrace back that cat. But it turns out to be that the cat disappear when she goes down, and when she back their apartment disappointed, she looks over herself in the mirror falling into a reverie, full of desires. At the end of the story, the hotel-keeper ask his maid to send a bigtortoise-shell cat.What kinds of intense fight is the heroine undergoing, and how to explain her inner life by Freud’s Personality Theory?2、Freud 3P Theory：Freud put forward the triple personalitystructure in his work<ID and Ego>, he regarded as personality was composed by ID、Ego、Superego.2.1ID：ID is the most original , subconscious，andnon-rational mental structure. It is filled with intenseimpulsion of instinct and desire which is controlledby “Pleasure Principle”, pursuing satisfaction blindly.【2】2.2Ego：Ego is affected by consciousness system, actingaccording to reality principle. It does not only usesmost of vigor to control and constrain thenon-rational impulsion, but also give suitablesatisfaction sinuously.【3】2.3Superego ：Superego is a middle-high ranking,moral, super-ego mental structure of personality.【4】In theory, Freud describes ego, id and superego as a psychological process which is mutual independence andmutual contradiction. Reaching a subtle balance by conflicts.【5】3、The reflection of Freud Personality Theory in the fiction：Many scenes in the story shows that the functions of triple personality of the heroine.3.1 The restrained ego：One can imagine that a couple go for a travel, the hotel they lodged is that “There were only two Americans stopping at the hotel. They did not know any of the people they passed on the stairs on their room.”【6】And moreover, in such a bad weather they were suffering. In the time like that, man and wife should have spent time doing some funny things or having a lively chatting. Nevertheless, the man lied on the bed reading book and paying no attention to his wife. When the wife came to the window aimlessly, she discovered a cat hiding a wringing green table to protect itself from the rain. By instinct, she wanted to bring that poor kitty back.In that way, why did the wife want the cat so badly? From Freud’s views, the power condition is determinate by that spirit energy division and transfer of the personality. A human essence and behavior depends on his power condition. If the energy still rest on ID, then his behavior have impulsiveness.[7]人The ID in one’s personality totally is unconscious, it is mainly composed of libido, including all original, genetic instinct and desire. It abides by “Pleasure Principle” to compel human-being to satisfy their desires in the cockles of the heart.[8] By means of the heroine’s word, “I’m going down and get that kitty”, “Oh, I wanted it so much, I wanted a kitty”.【8】She still goes out for that cat even in such a heavy rainy day, when his husband says,“I’ll do it”, however the wife says, “No, I’ll get it. The poor kitty is trying to keep dry under a table”【9】By this way, it is obvious that the wife’s ID make herself believe that she can do it by herself, and only when she gets that cat can she get rid of vapidity. Through Hemingway’s description to the cat, “outside right under their window a cat was crouched under one of the dripping green tables. The cat was trying to make herself so compact that she would not be dripped on”【10】And compared with the situation of heroine, they are both pathetic, and what else differences are there. In such a boring vocation, the women needs the attention and love of his man in her deep heart. However, what the fact, it is “The husband went on reading, lying propped up with the pillows at the foot of the bed”，【11】”. It is “对她不闻不问。
