The Cat
She is a double-dealer in this play, holding an idea that if the human-being find the bluebird, then all of the items, animals, and plants would lose their mind, being reduced to human’s slaves, making them feel like the meat on the hoof.
For one thing, she uses her beauty to win Timi and Mitil’s love. For another, she managed to send messages to her conspirators and set back in the journey.
