I have to admit that I have never read Watership Down before now. It was a book I dreaded reading in high school because, despite doing well in English class, I really hated all of the analysis and breakdowns done since they, more often than not, seemed to be centered on what the *teacher* thought the 'correct' interpretation was.
But that post about survival from different perspectives resonated with me and I've actually checked it out (digitally) from the library a bit ago and begun reading it. (Three chapters in and very intrigued.)
Anyway, I wanted to tell you and thank you for sharing that post since your additional tags convinced me to check it out. 💙
Aw I’m so glad! I hope you love it. We were shown the animated movie at school when I was 9 (it’s savage, the 80s was a wild time lmao) and I found the book when I was older and read it so much. Fiver is the best bun 💜
Also, for people that aren’t from the UK (and those that aren’t aware) Watership Down actually exists and it has been my lifelong dream to visit there one day.
