The Grinch's anger and bitterness might consume him at first, but at least he isn't pretending to be something he's not. Most of the Whos in Whoville are pretty fake with one another. Not only are they classist, but they can also be condescending. Poor Betty Lou Who is completely robbed during the Christmas light decorations competition (#JusticeForBetty) all because the mayor has a thing for Martha May Whovier. Betty pours her Who heart and soul into making the sure her house is lit all to have her big moment in the spotlight be completely dimmed by Martha May who always has to outshine everyone around her.
Whew, those were a lot of light-related puns. Forgive me.
