Analysis

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Tale of Despereaux" by Kate DiCamillo is a fairy tale about a small mouse with big ears who is born with unusual talents. Despereaux loves music, stories, and a human princess named Pea.

However, Despereaux's unconventional behavior leads him to be an outcast in the mouse community and eventually banished to the dungeon, where he encounters rats. There, he is destined to meet Roscuro, a rat who yearns for light. The tale explores the themes of light versus darkness, love, forgiveness, and the consequences of choices, as the characters face challenges and transformations in a world filled with both beauty and despair.
