User blog comment:FlinkyTheStoat/Essay: On Villain Dynamics in the Redwall Series/@comment-76.216.50.154-20101106165533

We know that BJ's books may be too black-and-whitish because this study is actually really true. I think that, even though I enjoy the books a lot, i would enjoyh them a lot more if BJ diversified the goals and feelings and thoughts of both good and evil creatures. It shouldn't always be "attack redwall for loot or revenge". And I think I have noticed some hypocracy among the good beasts, like they call vermin that tie them up cowards, and then some of them actually tie prisoners up! Look at Taggerung! He's well known as a hero. And yet he tied Madd up! I do not mean to degrade Tagg. He may be one of my favorite characters, but he is the first example that comes to mind about the whole hypocracy thing.
