Skills: — Cooking — Cutting down trees — Playing the guitar — Multimillionaire businessman. He is the narrator, the main antagonist of *The Lorax*, and the co-protagonist, as well as the central antagonist of the 2012 film of the same name. He was a greedy industrialist who cut down all the beautiful multicolored Truffula trees to make a peculiar garment known as a Thneed, "a fine thing that all people need".

PERSONALITY:

He is generally portrayed as a very optimistic and sometimes somewhat thoughtful person in the adaptations and the original book, but that doesn't last long, as he becomes more inconsiderate and is obviously overwhelmed by greed. Someone selfish and greedy, extremely narcissistic and arrogant, unaware of his actions (until the last tree is cut down), someone intelligent. Someone rude. Self-interest, a selfishness that can never be satisfied.

MENTALITY:

At the beginning of the film, it's clear that he suffered trauma for years because his mother portrayed him as someone who would never amount to anything. As the film progresses, he fulfills her prediction, becoming greedy and rude, interested only in money, in making more money, although the book never showed that; it only showed a man who would do anything to make more money. Intelligent. Unaware of his actions (until the end of the film).

DATA:

The Lorax is a children's book written by Dr. Seuss and first published in 1971. It chronicles the plight of the environment and the intervention of a creature called "the Lorax," who speaks on behalf of the trees, due to the greedy intervention of a businessman referred to as "the Once-ler." As in most of Dr. Seuss's works, the creatures mentioned are original to the book. The book is commonly recognized as a fable because it shows how corporate greed poses a danger to nature, using the literary element of personification to bring the environment to life in the form of the Lorax and industry in the form of the Once-ler (whose face is never shown in any of the story's illustrations or in the television special, but it is shown in the 2012 film). The book shows that he originally smoked (most of the time) and did not show his face until 2012 when they decided to give him a face.

CRITICISMS:

In 2007, an online poll named *The Lorax* one of the Top 100 best children's books. It was also one of the Top 100 picture books of all time in a 2012 poll. In a retrospective review written in *Nature* magazine in 2011 (on the 40th anniversary of the book's publication), Emma Marris described the Lorax character as a "parody of a misanthropic environmentalist." She called the book "sad" and doubted it was good for young children. However, she praised the book overall, and especially Dr. Seuss for understanding the "limits of darkness and doom" of environmentalism.

Film message:

The Lorax has an important message in favor of nature and environmental care. It shows that nature is an irreplaceable asset and that, if we don't take care of it, we risk destroying it. It also highlights the importance of working together to protect and conserve nature.
