Peter the rabbit claims that in order to keep the warren safe, the rabbits must be on the watch not just for foxes, but also for rabbits who disagree with or are not like them. He constantly warns them about rabbits who are "the fox within," when, in fact, the fox within was him all along.

"Many religious people are deeply suspicious. They seem – for purely religious purposes, of course – to know more about iniquity than the Unregenerate."

Ruyard Kipling, Witches of the Night
