Analysis Of Cat In The Hat

In Cat in the Hat the Cat best exemplifies the Freudian personality aspect of the Id as shown through his actions and verbal responses. The Id is the part of our personality that only wants what whatever feels good and its actions revolve around obtaining self-pleasure without regard for the circumstances of the situation. First off, when the Cat initially comes and wants to play a game he says “Why, we can have/Lots of good fun, if you wish/With a game that I call/UP-UP-UP with a fish!” (Seuss 12) and in response the fish says ““Put me down” said the fish/“This is no fun at all!/Put me down” said the fish/“I do NOT wish to fall!” (Seuss 13). The cat says he wants to play a game with them but he ends up playing a game that only he finds fun.
