ferret/rat lover :(

(Anonymous) 2012-12-29 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I read a bunch of these books when I was a kid, because I liked medieval fantasy type stories, and I liked animals. But I was always irrationally bothered that my favorite animals were "the bad guys". I had pet ferrets and rats throughout my childhood (and of course cats, who I think were the bad guys in the first book?) and so I was offended on SJW levels that they were always evil.

Then I read the book in this secret, and I was sooo hoping we finally had a good ferret. I was cheering for him the whole time, hoping his "badness" was actually due to being treated differently, or as he perceived differently, rather than innate ferrets = bad. In the end, he sacrifices himself for his mom, iirc, and then... suddenly, the conclusion is that he was actually a bad guy?

What the fuck!

Can someone actually explain why this ending makes sense? Why was he bad because he sacrificed himself? I think the mom said "I don't think he thought he would die" or something, but he did it nonetheless.

Anyway, I feel you, OP, because this was the book that made me stop reading Redwall. lol
