I think he is a fitting symbol for the ego, (or the Nafs) . Mickey Mouse is a fitting symbol for the Self (the Jungian term) which always guides man towards more wisdom, since he always seems to be able to do the right thing, no matter how convoluted the situation.
Oh dear. And I thought they were just cartoon characters! Why do Freud and Jung have to mess everything up... :-(
I can suggest one to use: Mickey is "inspired by the Holy Spirit." He is simpleminded, yet he always steps one step ahead of where the anvil falls.
Donald Duck is a bit more animal, so bad things happen to him which he cannot avoid, and he raves madly for them.
