Themes of Dr. Seuss

human rights

Geisel was a passionate advocate for human rights and was particularly outspoken against the Nazi regime's brutal treatment of Jews during World War II. The events of the war and the Holocaust inspired him to stop writing children's books during this period, where he focused on illustrating political cartoons denouncing the actions of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. An example of a Dr. Seuss, who defends human rights and racial equality, isthe eavesdroppers(1961), whose main characters are prejudiced against those with green stars on their bellies.

dr. Seuss Quotes on Human Rights:

"A human being is a human being, no matter how small." 🇧🇷Horton and the World's Who!

"They are you. Isn't that cool?"

"So open your mouth boy! Because every vote counts!" –Horton and the World's Who!

"I know there are great views up there, but down here we should have rights too."yertle to tartaruga

the surroundings

In some of his later works, Geisel demonstrated his strong views in support of environmental protection. This is best known in the 1971 work of Dr. SeussThe Lorax,where the title character must "speak for the trees" as they "have no tongues" and must defend against corporate greed and the resulting deforestation. Geisel was inspired by a trip to Africa when he saw workers felling trees. This story also became one of the most popular Dr. Seuss and went through several adaptations.

dr. Seuss quotes on the environment:

"If someone like you doesn't care much, nothing gets better. It doesn't."- The Lorax

"It's more open there under the open sky."Oh, the places you'll go!

"I speak for trees, because trees don't have languages."O Lorax

"Nobody can sing with smoke in their throat."O Lorax

to cold war

Geisel has portrayed many current events and political issues in her children's books. This can be seen inthe butter battle bookwhere two societies called "Yooks" and "Zooks" are constantly at odds and strive to do things differently. Even seemingly insignificant behaviors such as eating buttered toast differ between the two factions, constantly building weapons to show how superior each other is. This is reminiscent of the Cold War and is a representation of how Russia and the United States behaved at that time.

dr. Seuss quotes about the Cold War:

“Everyone bravely marched into a hole with flags flying! For your country! And butter right side up!The Butter Battle Book

“Of course, the wall wasn't that high back then. And I could look every square zook in the eyes” –The Butter Battle Book

„We can... and we haveTerto do better."
