2. Examine the incident between the Red Whiskers and Billy. What is this incident meant to do? Does it suggest comething about Billy's character or just the Red Whiskers's.
This incident was meant to show that Billy Budd is a person that doesn't like to be bothered. He won't resort to violence if the other party isn't the first to make a move. It suggests that Billy, although seems like a harmless and sweet little creature, can pack quite a big punch if aggravated, and that he can easy adapt to his surroundings. This incident also suggests that Red Whiskers's character can seem quite mean and act like somewhat like a bully, but he can also be a really nice person. For example, after the incident, Red Whiskers would "love" him just as much as the ships crew and would be extremely nice to Billy from then on. It seems like that these characters have dual personalities (not to the extreme), and have both light and dark sides of themselves.

The photo shows two masks, one is smiling and the other frowning, it represents a single entity with two completely different expressions (personalities).
Good Answer To The Question, I Agree That Both Characters Have Different Personalities. I Like Your Opinion About Red Whiskers Being A Bully. The Way You Answered The First Part Of Your Question Almost Seemed As If You Were Answering Question 6. For Your Support Picture You Could Have Also Explained Why You Choose It A Bit More, But After Thinking About It The Picture Does Make Sense.
