I do not like Teddy Budge. Teddy Budge is the man that Roberts mother called to come kill the Rabbits. Teddy Budge has no remorse no thought of what he does he just does it. So he was the perfect guy to call to come murder Rowena’s Rabbits. As Ted was walking into the stable where the rabbits had been kept, Robert ran out and head butted him. Teddy being the big lummox he is beat the living hell out of Robert with the nearest club weapon. Then proceeded to kill every single one of the innocent rabbits that never did anything to anyone. Personally I love animals and could never ever hurt a living creature this is probably why this part slightly bothered me. After Roberts severe beating he is laying In the bathtub while his mother walks in. They begin to talk about Roberts childhood and how he was so serious and how he always persevered. I found this interesting because I learned more about his character. Roberts mom then went off and said
“ You think Rowena belonged to you. Well I’m here to tell you ,Robert, no one belongs to anyone were all cut off at birth with a knife and left at the mercy of strangers. You hear that? Strangers. I know what you want to do. I know your going to go away and be a soldier. Well - you can go to hell. I’m not responsible. I’m just another stranger. Birth I can give you- but life I cannot. I can’t keep anyone alive. Not anymore”
This whole speech to Robert I found really significant. Robert was probably looking for a reason to stay and not go to war. His mom showing she doesn’t care most likely set it in stone he knew at that moment he was going to war. This was the last time they breathed in one another's presence.
