In the book, the stories reflect on what the rabbits do because they use similar tricks to the ones used by El-Arhrairah. Also, the stories helped them have hope on their long journey.
In Watership Down, the stories the rabbits tell make them forget how miserable they really are. The Rabbit Legends give them hope so they can continue with their journey, Pipkin would have died if Dandelion hadn't been telling stories. The stories helped to raise his spirits because Pipkin's only a little rabbit that needs a lot of help because he's really weak. The stories also gave Hazel inspiration to pull the greatest trick on General Woundworth.
In this book the stories told in the book are similar in a sense from the folk tales. El-Ariarah used the same tricks and strategies as the pack of rabbits used to achieve their goals.
Ben & David,
I think you speak of "foreshadowing."
Do you know what foreshadowing is? Can you give me an example from the book?
Melanie,
I agree that the stories served 2 purposes: to entertain and to foreshadow. What, in your opinion, made the trick played on Gen. Woundworth "the greatest"?
Ms. Anzalone,
The trick they pulled on General Woundwort was the greatest because it saved many lives, it saved the doe's lives, Blackavar's life, and the new warren's life. The trick was so well planned out and I don't think El-ahrairah could have thought of a trick that was as well planned out, used great trickery, and saved so many lives like the trick Blackberry, Fiver, and Hazel thought up!
