Quote #10
Sylvia would have liked him vastly better without his gun; she could not understand why he killed the very birds he seemed to like so much. (1.26)
Sylvia is well aware of the irony behind the hunter's professed love of nature. In truth, he only loves nature when he is able to put it under his own control. This serves to heighten the contrast between Sylvia and the hunter even further.
