The Lorax Monologue

I performed in a play “The Lorax”, which was based on Dr. Seuss’s book “The Lorax”. I played the role of “The Lorax”. The Lorax was the main character and protagonist of the play. The antagonist of the play was “The Onceler”.

The Onceler was a greedy man. He wanted to make money by using fur from Truffula Trees. As he cuts the first tree, The Lorax pops out. The Lorax said, “I speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues.” The Lorax tried to stop The Onceler, but The Onceler was greedy enough not to stop. One by the one, The Onceler cut down all the trees and The Lorax disappeared. The removal of tree lead to pollution and the air became unbreathable.

The Onceler learned from his mistake and was worried about his wrongdoing. Before
