Quote #10
I felt blood running down where the whip was cutting into flesh and then Eversman was on me, hitting with both fists at once. But I was stronger, and angrier too. I managed to roll over and fling him on his back. Seizing the slack end of the whip, I wrapped it around his neck so tight that with one hard tug I could break his windpipe. (133.11)
At Abraham's after the trial, Ben inflicts violence on someone else. His description sounds an awful lot like his own hanging. The only difference? Ben knows when to stop. He doesn't keep beating on the White Raiders after they've stopped, so while he does fight back, he never uses violence just for the sake of it.
