What is the power of the mighty boas over the naive, simple-minded rabbits based on? On fear - blinding, irrational, paralyzing fear. What is the idea of a furiously brave rabbit who tried to throw off this bloodthirsty power based on? On a simple denial of fear - after all, how can you intimidate those who, in principle, have nothing to lose? But why are the rabbits even more dissatisfied with such a revolutionary idea than their creeping masters and executioners? Perhaps it is because they themselves, accustomed to living in the ‘small but charming injustice’ of theft and bribery, fear a change of power much more than the possibility of being eaten?
