Examples Of Max In The Grinch

Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens Scrooge has become one of the most commonly know characters from Charles Dickens’s novels, in the respect that he is the most horrible and callus of all his characters, this dastardly individual was used to convey a serious social message about the extreme neglect of Victorian employees. The first chapter of ‘A Christmas Carol’ prepares the reader for the rest of the novel. Dickens does this by creating antipathy for scrooge and by introducing gothic elements to prepare the reader for the arrival of the spirits later on in the book. In the 18th century Charles Dickens was one of the most important

Dickens emphasizes this with Magwitch's brutal behavior, his threats of death if Pip does not do his bidding, but, as is a recurring theme in the novel, we need only the proof of his appearance to pass judgment upon him. Pip in contrast is defenseless, for in the inverted position Magwitch holds him, Pip can be likened to a new-born; Pip is innocent, naked, and ignorant of the world. It is from this point Pip begins the long journey toward the "identity of things" (24; ch.1).

There are many differences between the movie and the original story, one of which is Cindy Lou Who. In the original Grinch she is portrayed as innocent two year old. In the movie however, she is about seven years old, which allows her to be slightly more skeptical about things. Jim Carrey played The Grinch, but when watching this movie it seemed as if The Grinch was playing Jim Carrey. The original cartoon leaves you with much more imagination as to why the Grinch is so mean. Quoting from Dr. Seuss’s book:

Jacob Marley from ‘A Christmas Carol’ changes through the whole story. He has a creepy outfit. He treats people much different after he died. He is almost like Scrooge.

One example of how the grinch has goodness in his heart is when he saved Cindy Loo. When the grinch stole all the presents he put them at the edge of the clif. Christmas morning cindy loo wanted to go see him cause no one else did. She went on the top of all the presents and they all started to fall off the clif while Cindy Loo was on top and the grinch stopped all the presents from falling.

As the story moves along Sam out the elder in different situations to see if he would eat the green eggs and ham, but to Sam’s dismay the elder wouldn’t. Finally after trying and trying and trying Sam gets the elder to try the Green eggs and ham. One of the most popular stories by Dr. Seuss is the classic How the Grinch Stole Christmas. This story became so popular that Universal Studios not only picket it up for a movie, but also a whole theme for their Christmas season theme park. In this story the Grinch loathes Christmas and the who’s with every fiber of his being. The Grinch presents himself as socially cut off from the who’s down in whoville. He lives on top of Mt. Crumpit with his dog Max. All of this hate is because his heart is two sizes too small (and this time he’ll keep it off). He finally had enough of the Who’s bangboozaling and clangclangaling so he devised a plan to steal Christmas. After Santa Clause came and delivered all the presents to the houses he would sneak in, in his Santa Clause suit and steal every present, every light, every decoration, every tree, and all of the food for the feast. He even stole the roast beast! He would empty the houses one by one and he didn’t leave anything. Not even a crumb big enough for a mouse. So as he got done with emptying the houses and was about to dump everything over Crumpit he heard a noise, a weird

Scrooge's mean attitude was demonstrated when he said to his nephew, “What right have you to be Merry? You're poor enough" This is the first indication that Scrooge was not in the Christmas spirit as he was not joyful. This is also an indication that Scrooge was greedy and

The literary school of criticism which best interprets Dr. Seuss’ “The Grinch Who Stole Christmas” is the archetypal lens. The poem tells the tale of a Grinch who’s attempt to stop Christmas is relinquished when he is moved by the Christmas spirit of Whoville. Through the usage of character and thematic archetypes, Seuss is able to strengthen the impact of his poem. In the poem, the Grinch is clearly an example of the villain, seen in how “his heart was two sizes too small,” a metaphor for how he lacks empathy and love (Seuss 8). The Grinch’s portrayal as a villain eliminates the reader’s doubts as to why he is attempting to steal Christmas as it is implied that villains will attempt to commit evil.

In the writings, “The Black Cat”, “A Christmas Carol”, “Death of a Salesman”, and “A Raisin in the Sun”, they all portray an ongoing theme about bad choices. Bad choices lead to how the characters feel. For example, in the Black Cat, the narrator kills his cat along with his wife, leading his wife to be upset. Also, in a Christmas Carol, Scrooge disrespects his nephew leading to his nephew being upset. Along with that, in the Death of a Salesman, when Willy yells at Linda saying that he doesn’t want change, she becomes dejected. In the last story a Raisin in the Sun, Walter is sexiest and racist to Ruth which makes her feel unworthy.

These are shown by the Grinch ruining Christmas and how harsh men are to one another.

To illustrate, a background of the Grinch, he was a resentful individual who look to be in his 40’s who lived on a snowy called Mount Crumpits in the town of Whoville. In the film it depicts him spending a lot of time alone in the cave on the mountain reflecting depressed mood and his only social contact being his dog, named Max. He was abandoned as a child and was

Stanley Kowalski is an adult that is still affected by the id. As someone grows older, the id is supposed to grow into the other two systems of the brain but reading Stanley’s character, it seems that process did not take affect. Throughout the novel, Stanley’s true colors gradually start to show within his behavior. The id of his personality comes full of light when he abuses Stella physically in front of his guests and when he rapes Blanche. When performing both of these acts, Stanley has no remorse and faces no repercussions.
