Tuco Benedicto Pacífico Juan María Ramírez

Tuco Ramírez is the "Ugly" character in the classic movie "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly". As portrayed by Eli Wallace, Tuco isn't all that ugly, actually he just looks like an average guy as compared to squint-eyed Clint Eastwood and the sinister Lee Van Cleef

You could also think of the movie as twisted version of The Id, the Ego, and the Superego, with the Superego on the side of evil instead of good. Tuco is fascinating in that his character is pure Id, and that is what makes him "ugly," he represents is the "ugly" side of all of us.

Id, I can see that

Interesting! I do get the Id-like nature of the Tuco character. Maybe there's a vicarious thrill for the audience in watching such an uninhibited character.
