We live in a box fit for monkeys

Box has the connotations of cramped and small.


Inhumane conditions.


Shows how horrifically lrc is treating them just because they're lower class.

Why is it Mr Tulloch, that the innocent have always to be sacrificed?

This shows Neils frustration about the way him and calum are treated compared to everyone else. He knows calum has done nothing wrong but he still gets the blame. This has religious imagery, jesus was an innocent caring man that was sacrificed, this is what's happening to calum.

He could not see things or people as a baronets heir should

This shows the difference between roderick and everyone else of his social status. Roderick doesn't see stuff the same as his parents do, he sees the good in things and people and treats them with respect.

But we carried dogs in the car

Lrc had dogs in the car instead of the cone gatherers, this shows how she'd much rather prefer animals over two individuals of a lower social status.

It was one of the very big trees at the end of the loch; a silver fir.

Roderick got stuck at the top of a silver fir,this shows how the new generation is going to change and there will be equality. The way roderick sees people is how his generation will too, there will be no more due to equality.

I have questioned them..my lady. I saw what happened. I find no fault in them.

Mr Tulloch knows that calum is innocent and the cone gatherers have done nothing wrong, he's tried to see if from lrcs point of view but it just isn't reasonable enough. He knows lrc is in the wrong.

Out of all the bonny corners in the woods. This one was the bonniest.

In this section of the woods there was no evil from duror or the war. It was beautiful.

Chaffinches fluttered around him.

Calum is alike St Francis assisi. This is religious imagery. St Francis was kind and caring,he was upper class but then gave all of his wealth to the poor do he became lower class. This is a kind act calum would do. Calum and St Francis were both beautiful on the inside but not so much the outside.

Calum was no longer one of the beaters: he too himself was a deer hunted by remorseless men.

When people go deer hunting the deers are innocent and have done no harm, this is what calum is getting compared to. Duror seen calum as a target and was doing anything to catch him.

He was indigenous as a squirrel or a bird

This sows how calum is at one with nature and is free and innocent as an animal.

It was a very nice tree by the sea loch; it was homely too. With rests amongst it's topmost branches as comfortable as chairs.

Em bulshit

He seemed to be laughing in some kind of berserk joy.

This shows how psychotic duror is. He's kept all his feelings inside for so long and now he can't control them anymore. This is breaking point for duror, now everyone can see the real him. This was an absurd reaction, as everyone else was horrified and he seemed to find this situation funny.

He smiled, marvelling at the steadiness of his hand holding the tea cup; within him the roaring like a storm through a tree.

Duror is proud due to the fact he's able to act fine whereas on the inside he isn't. Duror loves the control he loves and the fact that no one can see how much he is suffering, they are oblivious.

He felt in the mood for murder, rape or suicide.

Duror is suffering and is in so much pain that he wants to take it out on other people or just end his life.

The over spreading tree of revulsion in him.

Duror has no control over the overwhelming hatred within him, it's all getting too much. This is the extended tree metaphor.

Durors voice was stripped of emotion as a winters tree.


Trees in winter have no green, no life. Duror had no affection for Peggy anymore. His love for her was gone, he was disgusted every time he saw her.
