Cat In The Hat Blog

The character I chose, was the fish. He was dominated by superego. Superego is, in most illustrations, the angel that sits upon one's shoulder that represents he conscience. It is the less selfish view of someone's personality. The fish wastrying to persuade the kids throughout the entire book, to do the right thing. The fish was telling the kids that they should not have the cat over when their mom isn't there. That was showing that he was trying to help the kids make the ethical decision, instead of pleasuring themselves. He tells the cat to leave, in spite of his non-support from sally and the narrator. That shows that he really wanted the cat to leave at all costs, because he knew that he would be the one held responsible for anything bad that happened.
