Talk:Fordpetal

You know, I somehow feel like Zigu's beating of Fordpetal was more one of the more realistic scenes in the book. I know that in World War I, injured enemy snipers usually recieved equivalent treatment if soliders ran into them in the field - it stands to reason that in war, the frustration of being shot at from a distance manifests itself in brutality and violence when you finally get your tormentor withn your grasp. Hence Zigu's merciless bludgeoning of Fordpetal.

Not to imply that Zigu was in any way justified, of course - or that Fordpetal deserved such a terrible death. But that scene always struck me as one of the more...poignant...ones in the book, if only because it's one of the closest to a depiction of what war truly is. - d2r 22:11, January 23, 2010 (UTC)
