Your view on the allegory in Watership Down book?

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

The Council Rabbit seems like the most atheistic one. He has given up all hope and relies on false security in the hole. (Though atheist philosophy tends to rely on materialism interms of world building)
Then you have the SS Police rabbits which is Owslafa. They are more authoritarians like USSR, Nazis or whatever tyrrant you can think of.

Personally i think the whole story is origin story of Killer Rabbit from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. What do you think?

Overall the book deals about leadership roles, struggles and such... with bunnies

I never read it as an allegory about atheism or economic philosophy. I see it more thematically concerned with ecology and the incessant march of technology, and how that march impacts nature. Technology is seen as a harbinger of death and authoritarianism, while living in nature is held up as freedom. Fiver is definitely a medicine-man to his fellows.

Richard Adams says there’s no intended ‘allegory or parable or any kind of political myth. I simply wrote down a story I told to my little girls.’
