A theme of The Tale of Despereaux, by Kate Dicamillo, is being different is good. Near the start of the book, it says '" I am not sorry, I will not renounce my actions"' "' very well, then, you will die with a black heart."' This means that Despereaux was different by not renouncing himself therefore he was sent to the dungeon to get eaten by rats. But, the last page of the book says, "'No choice," his heart beat out to him as he went down the stairs," "Sitting in the place of honour, is a very small mouse with big ears." This tells us that being different is a good thing because if Despereaux renounced himself then he wouldn't have gone on a journey, and in the journey, he went to the dungeon to save the princess but if he was the same as the others they would've back out leaving the princess to perish in the dungeon, and not sit in the seat of honor. In conclusion, this proves that being different is a good thing because he saved the princess by going on a journey from the dungeon and back into the dungeon to save the princess since he was different, so, he didn't back out and leave the princess to rot in the dungeon, like the other would have.
