In the novel "Watership Down" by Richard Adams, Bluebell reflects on the animosity between the rabbits and humans, suggesting that the men resent them for invading their lands and taking their crops. This tension highlights the struggle for survival in a world where humans wield power over the natural landscape.

Toadflax counters Bluebell's belief, asserting that the humans’ actions were not fueled by resentment over the rabbits' raiding but rather by self-interest. The destruction of their warren by humans was a calculated move to eliminate obstacles in their path, emphasizing the harsh reality of coexistence where the rabbits suffer merely because they are in the way of human activities.
