Cat in the Hat Psychoanalytical Theories

Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat 

My chosen Film is Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat i will now look at this film and try to apply 3 different theories The Auteur, Feminist and Psychoanalytical Theory.

Psychoanalytical Theory

I mainly chose this film because I think that it has a direct link to a Psychoanalytical Theory which is called the Ego Theory the idea is simple in basic terms a chain of command The idea is that you have a Super Ego who is in charge and relays a message down to the Ego much like the brain talking to the  body the Ego is the one that has to find a way of achieving the goal set. Incomes the Id which is the subconscious which generates quick ideas which can either be used or subsided as unimportant For example if the brain (The Super Ego) told the body (The Ego) we need money the subconscious (Id) might suggest to rob a bank but after generating the idea it is dismissed. In Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat The Cat Played by Mike Myers is the Super Ego because he is the one coming up with activities to do Conrad and Susie are the Ego the ones that have to deal with the commands and consequences and The Things are the Id as they generate problems (such as destroying the house) and also generates solutions (cures the boredom of the children and helping them fix the house) or From a different side of The psychoanalytical theory you could swap the roles and say that The children are the super ego wanting to have fun the Cat is the Ego trying to achieve the goal.
