Fish in Redwall

[Bloodwrath]

But the Redwall series says that the swans were "deaf" swans. Can't this mean that there are some speaking swans somewhere?

There probably are, I just wonder why Jacques would decide not to give all creatures some sort of intelligence through speech. Seems like there would be more opportunity for interaction and characters if all could speak.

I don't think it would be intresting for creatures to talk to bugs.

You don't think it would be?  I think it would be rather interesting.  Would open up an entirely new aspect for the stories to explore.

I think the word "deaf' wasxn't used to mean that.

What else could it mean? All the swans who were called deaf swans couldn't talk. Dosn't that make it rather obvious?

All of the other birds in the series seem to be able to talk.

But not those swans. An execption can mean more than a whole horde.

It just leaves you to wonder why he decided on the swans to be the one bird not to talk.

Sure does...but that dosn't mean that there couldn't be any talking swans in the world of Redwall.

Or maybe BJ just never wanted them to talk in the story. They could be well able to talk they maybe just didn't.

Wouldn't it have been more useful to the story to have them talk if they could? Seems like there would be more opportunity for character interaction and depth of the story.

Yes, but they didn't have the biggest roles in the Redwall stories.

Actually, I believe there's a species of swans called mute swans that don't make any noise. Maybe they're common in England.

Also, woodpigeons never talk.
