what is the theme of macavity
Answers
The poem is a humorous criticism of the failure of modern criminal justice systems. A cat may break any law and humans would be legally powerless. It also alludes to humans inherent nature to be sinful and commit crimes since cats are compared to humans more so than most other domesticated creatures. The crimes range form the infantile desire to fly, the childish crime of breaking glass, to stealing precious jewels and valuable documents. It also provides the reader with simple levity as it alludes to a cat's tendency to "vanish" whenever it has done something wrong.very important to remember

the theme of the poem is that there has never been a cat of such deceitfulness and tactfulness.
Macavity is always ready with an alibi or two and when the crimes are discovered Macavity is not there.
T.S Eliot talks about other wicked cats namely Mungojerrie and Griddlebone who are nothing but agents of Macavity: The Napoleon of Crime.
