He lives in the southeast corner of the Hundred Acre Wood, in an area labeled "Eeyore's Gloomy Place: Rather Boggy and Sad" on the map in the Winnie-the-Pooh book. When Pooh humbly declares that Eeyore's poetry is better than his own, "really believing it to be true", Eeyore vainly replies that "it was meant to be".Įeyore has a poor opinion of most of the other animals in the Forest, describing them as having "No brain at all, some of them", "only grey fluff that's blown into their heads by mistake" (from chapter 1 of The House at Pooh Corner). Eeyore also wrote the awkwardly-rhymed poem called "POEM", which appeared on the "rissolution", making him the only character in the Winnie-the-Pooh books other than Pooh himself who attempts to write poetry (a fact that Eeyore himself notes). Nevertheless, he spells his own name "eoR" when signing the "rissolution" that the animals give to Christopher Robin as a farewell present in the final chapter. When Christopher Robin shows him the letter "A", Eeyore does not understand its meaning, knowing only that "it means learning", something he desperately wants to be seen as having, but he angrily destroys the letter after finding that Rabbit (who is quite literate) knows about it already. In The House at Pooh Corner, Eeyore's level of literacy is unclear. Christopher Robin is able to reattach the tail with a drawing pin. He has a long, detachable tail with a pink bow on the end, of which he is very fond, but which he is also prone to losing ( Owl once mistakes it for a bell-pull).
Shepard's illustrations, he appears to be about chin-high to Pooh and about hip-high to Christopher Robin.
Physically, Eeyore is described as an "old grey donkey". His name is an onomatopoeic representation of the braying sound made by a normal donkey, usually represented as "hee haw" in American English: the spelling with an "r" is explained by the fact that Milne and most of his intended audience spoke a non-rhotic variety of English in which the "r" in "Eeyore" is not pronounced as /r/. He also appears in all the chapters of The House at Pooh Corner except chapter 7.
He is generally characterized as a pessimistic, gloomy, depressed, anhedonic, old grey stuffed donkey who is a friend of the title character, Winnie-the-Pooh.Įeyore appears in chapters 4, 6, 7, and 10 of Winnie-the-Pooh and is mentioned in a few others.
