The first story in the list shows us very clearly that a very large share of the violence that takes place on the island is free of hatred. It is fighting for fighting’s sake, an extreme version of the many gallant violent arts (like boxing and other combat sports). A similar lesson may be derived from the story of Peter and the lions. The story is a direct reference to a chapter in Cervantes’ Don Quixote, in which Quixote challenges two sated and lazy lions who refuse to fight.
