beccaelizabethJust read another fic made me think on the word 'rat'
it listed meaning as animal and as traitor
dictionary.com adds specifically informer, one who reveals confidential information in return for money, someone who tells on someone who did something against the rules.
also 'to desert one's party or associates, esp. in a time of trouble.'
so now I'm trying to remember, was it just rat jam and rat tummies? were there any other rats?
I'd look in transcripts but I haven't done them all yet.
subtitles files has a lot of words containing the letters 'rat', and also in 1-12 an anecdote we get the end of:
And I say, "Look, love, it's raining bombs and fire, so get down that cellar."
And she says, "I can't, there's rats down there!"
... rats is not a theme, then. but rats is an interesting image to make themey.
