The human world—upper society. The human world in the movie lacks soup. The king’s wife died because of soup, so soup became a ban in human society. Everyone knows that the taste of soup is rich and varied. The life lacking soup is boring, boring, colorless and monotonous. This can be known from the life of the princess after the prohibition of soup. In addition to all day's fantasy, she is a whole day. The loneliness of the sky is boring. This seems to be the life of the upper-class nobles in the real society. Their lives are always restricted by their parents and greater power. They have been forbidden to touch many things since they were young because those things are considered "dirty" by their class. "Indecent".
Mouse World (Mouse World)-the middle class, they live in a dark room, where there is light, but not much; living resources are much less than humans, but they are several times better than mice. It can be found from the movie that the world of rats is the most compliant with laws and systems. They always act carefully in accordance with all established practices. They dare not challenge traditions and rules, and are also afraid of "people" who challenge traditions and rules. This caused the protagonist’s tragedy. He dared to be what ordinary mice could not do—try a mousetrap; he did not do things according to the tradition of the mouse world—he read books instead of gnawing them; and when he challenged the rats The traditional belief of being resistant to survival-when he was not in contact with humans, he was cruelly punished by the mouse world. He was expelled from this world by the rats and exiled to the bottom of society-the world of mice.
Rat World (Rat World)-the bottom society, this is a "dirty", "no sun", "garbage-buried world". This is a slum. The mice are impoverished. They have nothing. Most of the things they need for survival are discarded and wasted by the upper class and the middle class after enjoying it. From the beginning of the movie, we can know that their current situation is caused by the upper class. Because the upper class considers them dirty and illegal, they are rejected and expelled to the darkest and most marginal place in the world. Because they are not exposed to sunlight, they hate and fear sunlight; because they are treated unfairly by the upper class and discriminated by the middle class, they hate and try to avenge the upper class and the middle class.
The rebellious little mouse in the movie breaks the boundaries between this class and lets the sun shine into the hearts of "people" of all classes. In the real society, this sunshine symbolizes the values that can be accepted by the entire society. Perhaps only this common thing can break the barriers between different societies.
