  Freud on Seuss: A Book Review
  copyrighted by Joshua LeBeau

 The Cat in the Hat, by Dr. Seuss
 Beginner Books, 61 pages. $3.95.

 The Cat in the Hat is a hard-hitting novel of prose
 and poetry in which the author re-examines the
 dynamic rhyming schemes and bold imagery of some of
 his earlier works, most notably Green Eggs and Ham,
 If I Ran the Zoo, and Why Can't I Shower With Mommy?

 In this latest novel, Theodore Geisel, writing under
 the pseudonym Dr. Seuss, pays homage to the great
 Dr. Sigmund Freud in a nightmarish fantasy of a
 renegade feline helping two young children
 understand their own frustrated sexuality.

 The story opens with two youngsters, a brother and
 sister, abandoned by their mother, staring
 mournfully through the window of their single-family
 dwelling. In the foreground, an engorged phallic
 symbol dances wildly in the wind, taunting the
 children and encouraging them to succumb to the
 sexual yearnings they undoubtedly feel for each
 other. Even to the most unlearned reader, the
 blatant reference to the incestuous relationship the
 two share sets the tone for Seuss's probing
 examination of the Id (ed. - In Freudian Theory -
 The Id is the division of the human psyche that is
 totally unconscious and serves as the source of
 instinctual impulses and demands for immediate
 satisfaction of primitive needs.)

 As the story unfolds, Seuss introduces a menacing
 feline character cleverly disguised in a striped
 head covering. The Cat proceeds to charm the wary
 youths into engaging in what is so innocently
 refered to as tricks. At this point, a talking fish,
 (an obvious Christ figure representing prevailing
 Christian morality), attempts to warn the children,
 and thus, in effect, warn all humanity of the
 dangers associated with acting upon primal urges. In
 response to this, The Cat proceeds to balance the
 aquatic naysayer on the tip of his umbrella,
 essentially saying Down with morality. Down with God!

 After poohpoohing the righteous rantings of the
 waterlogged Christ, the Cat begins to juggle several
 icons of Western culture, most notably two books,
 representing the Old and New Testaments, and a
 saucer of lactal fluid, an ironic reference to
 maternal loss the children experienced when their
 mother abandoned them for the afternoon. Our heroic
 Id adds to this bold gesture a rake and a toy man,
 and thus completes the Oedipal triangle.

 Later in the novel, Seuss introduces the proverbial
 Pandora's box, a large red crate out of which the Id
 releases Thing One representing Freud's concept of
 Ego (ed. - In Freudian Theory - The Ego is the
 division of the psyche that serves as the conscious
 mediator between the person and reality), and Thing
 Two representing The Superego (ed. - In Freudian
 Theory - The Superego is the division of the psyche
 that functions to reward and punish through a system
 of moral attitudes, conscience, and guilt.)
 Referring to this box, The Cat says, Now look at
 this trick. Take a look! In this, Dr. Seuss uses the
 children as a brilliant metaphor for the reader, and
 asks the reader to re-examine his own inner-self.

 The children, unable to control the Id, Ego, and
 Superego allow these creatures to run free and mess
 up the house, or more symbolically, control their
 lives. This rampage continues until The Fish, or
 Christ symbol, warns that the mother is returning to
 reinstate the Oedipal triangle that existed before
 her abandonment of the children. At this point,
 Seuss introduces a many-armed cleaning device which
 represents the psychoanalytic couch, which proceeds
 to put the two youngsters' lives back in order.

 With powerful simplicity, clarity, and drama, Seuss
 reduces Freud's concepts on the dynamics of the
 human psyche to an easily understood gesture. Dr.
 Seuss' poetry and choice of words is equally
 impressive and serves as a splendid counterpart to
 his bold symbolism. In all, his writing style is
 quick and fluid, making The Cat in the Hat
 impossible to put down. While this novel is 61 pages
 in length, and one can read it in five minutes or
 less, it is not until after multiple readings that
 the genius of this modern day master becomes apparent.
