![]() Maybe the only power McBean really holds is his ability to build the Star-Off and Star-On machines. ![]() He keeps the demand for his services high, and as long as the Sneetches are always trying to one-up each other, McBean's got the cash a-flowing.īut how does McBean have this power over the Sneetches? ![]() McBean wants every cent he can squeeze from those Sneetches, and he plays off their Sneetchy desires to get it. See, McBean is a capitalist at heart, and Seuss doesn't seem to be in the capitalist fan club. Seuss may have been a little more cynical. He alternates between star-giving and star-taking away without blinking an eye. This guy's starting to sound like an infomercial. Sure, he's going to charge them three bucks a pop, but his "work is one hundred per cent guaranteed" (Sneetches.33). Calling himself the "Fix-it-Up Chappie" (Sneetches.30), McBean claims he can solve their problems. ![]() McBean arrives at the beaches of those poor Plain-Belly Sneetches just in time-when they are feeling as lowly and small as ever. ![]()
