The Wind in the Willows / int_1235f055	comment	Dirty Coward: The Weasels who pick on any animal weaker than them, but scurry when someone stands up to them. When Mole enters the Wild Wood they scare him out of his mind. When Rat with his cudgel and brace of pistols enters the Wood to look for Mole, they don't dare pull any of the same nasty tricks.

The Wind in the Willows / int_21d47bb7	comment	Nouveau Riche: It's implied that Toad's family bought their way into squiredom rather than inheriting it. Toad inherited his money from his father and is rather cavalier towards spending his inheritance on whatever takes his fancy — he also conspicuously lacks any kind of title or honorific; not even "the Honorable" or "Esquire". Badger's comments implies that Toad Hall belonged to somebody else before Toad's father came to live there.

The Wind in the Willows / int_27a40541	comment	Furry Confusion: Not particularly strong, but in a lot of the artwork, the main cast are much, much bigger than the stoats and weasels. Also, while the main cast wears clothing, Otter wears none. Also: Toad has a horse called Alfred. While he is an actual quadrupedal horse who pulls the caravan, he does seem to be sentient. Strangely, this is one of the few animal characters not named after his species. Mole's "black velvet smoking jacket" is a joke on a mole's fur.

And the average price of a motor car back then was Â£340 which is Â£20,000 in today's money. And if Toad did have at least a Â£1,000,0000 that would Â£57,000,000 in today's money.

The Wind in the Willows / int_ed23decc	comment	Big Ball of Violence: In the 1987 made-for-tv animated film version by Rankin-Bass. When Toad was briefed about what happened to Toad Hall while he was in prison, he went into a big rant over it, prompting Badger to order Ratty and Mole to restrain him, resulting in the Big Ball of Violence.

The Wind in the Willows / int_f34a4c1e	type	Lower-Class Lout
The Wind in the Willows / int_f34a4c1e	comment	Lower-Class Lout: The Wild Wooders are treated this way, a product of Grahame's class-based mistrust of the English working class whom he saw as lazy, idle, prone to theft rather than honest labour, ill-educated and vicious to their social betters. (And, unlike the more selective middle-class house-owning voles, moles and badgers, breed uncontrollably). The book is a pretty reactionary text, written at a time when the English bourgeoisie were frightened of unrest, labour agitation and socialism among the lower orders — in short the proletariat rising up against the hard-working middle classes. It is no accident the heroes are all members of the stout English yeomanry.

The Wind in the Willows / int_f61cddc9	comment	Lions and Tigers and Humans... Oh, My!: Zig-zagged. Most of the animals live in burrows (albeit in very human-like comfort) and have little or no interaction with humans. Mr. Toad, on the other hand, lives in an actual house, drives cars, is put on trial in a human court, held in a human prison, and escapes by disguising himself as a human washerwoman. During his escape no one suspects that he's Mr. Toad until he actually announces it when he rides off with a barge woman's horse. And he also interacts on a more-or-less equal basis with all the other animals.

The only ones who do are — Badger (who lives in the heart of it and nobody would dare cross) and Otter. Ratty manages it only by going in armed to the teeth, and making sure anyone who sees him knows so at a glance.

The Wind in the Willows / int_fbd285b7	comment	Comically Missing the Point: Toad has a knack for this in Michel Plessix's comic adaptation. One memorable scene happens after Toad's escape from jail, when he finds himself in Ratty's home and Ratty tells him to go get cleaned up and get out of those washerwoman clothes. In the comic, Ratty is annoyed that Toad is tracking mud in on his carpets, and ushes him up to the bathroom to clean up, while adding: "And put on some slippers!" Cut to Toad in the bathroom, wondering why Ratty told him to wear slippers in the shower.
