The Cat In The Hat Project

In The Cat in The Hat the fish plays the role of the good guy therefore he is dominated by the super ego. This mean he represents the moral part of the person. He is some what like the angel on your shoulder while the oppistie is the devil.
The fish shows many examples throughout the book on why he is dominated by the super ego. For example his Speech. The fish says "No, No, make that cat go away tell him you do not want to play." This shows or reveals that the fish is responsible and wants to follow the rules also eveidence of the super ego. He goes through the whole story basically telling the kids to tell the Cat in The Hat that they do not want to play because their mother wont approve of him making a mess.
The fish shows alot of effects on others. He basically plays cop or the babysitter. The cat in the hat and the kids don't like it so they become unhappy. They do not approve of the fishes advice so they Cat in The Hat continues to play games.
In the end the fish warns the Cat in The Hat and the kids that their mother is coming. It took them awhile to recognize that it is such a mess and they all cleaned up together. This evidence proves that the fish is largely dominated by the super ego.
