The Cat in the Hat

The character that i'm analysing is the fish. The fish was against all the games and fun. He didn't want the kids to do what they weren't supposed to do. But the Cat was able to convince them to have fun. The fishes personality went against everything the Cat did. He didn't want the cat there. For example, "No! No! Make the cat go away! Tell that Cat in the Hat you do not want to play. He should not be here. He should not be about. He should not be here. When your mother is out." He tells the cat to put him down when the cat was balancing him. This tells us that the fish was the superego. He cares about everybody and he cares about the consequences. He knew that the cat was all trouble and that the consequences of the cat being there would be bad. He was worried about the kids and their mother, but he was also worried about the house. The fish was the superego throughout the whole book. The fishes personality contributes to the main conflict by being the "good" guy. The guy that knows right from wrong. The one that always chooses the right choice for the occasion. With the fish being there, there was a sense of righteousness. If the cat was the devil, the fish would be the angel. His personality would be the counter for the cat's personality.
