Answer
in an icy sweat of hatred, with his gun aimed all the time at the feeble minded hunchback grovelling over the rabbit
the last obscene squeal of the killed dwarf… from the noose of disgust and despair drawn
since childhood Duror had been repelled by anything living that had an imperfection or deformity or lack: a cat with three legs had raised pity in others, in him an ungovernable disgust
he was like a tree, still showing green leaves; but underground death was creeping along the roots
do you really, he thought, see this tree growing and spreading in my mind? and it’s fruit madness?
rushing upon the stricken deer and frantic hunchback, he threw the latter off with furious force, and then, seizing the former’s head with one hand cut its throat savagely with the other
Answer
Duror was alone in his obsession
this wood had always been his stronghold… but now the wood was invaded
overspreading tree of revulsion in him
he felt an icy hand on his brow as he imagined that hideous but liberating fratricide
he felt in the mood for murder, rape or suicide
monstrously obese
