I wonder if rahero knows who really burnt his home down. it seems as though he has killed an innocent man and stolen his wife for no reason. is there a moral here?

so this poem is just never ending vengeance. tamatea's mother burned rahero's house down for revenge and now rahero wants revenge on her, but he started it.

this line has a lot of meaning because the fruit of your loins is a child and he wraps his child in his loincloth so his son is now the literal fruit of his loins.

i am surprised that they killed tamatea so suddenly instead of maybe taking him before the king for a trial or public execution

did i miss something in the beginning about the king being bad? it seems like everyone agrees he is not a good king, so why is tamatea bringing him fish?

i think rahero would be a really terrible king. why did he loath the current king so much?

i wonder why it is honoured the most I think we will find out.

I have typically heard young and beautiful women be described as "...the fair", so it is interesting to hear a young man be described this way. Maybe this has something to do with Stevenson's sexuality.
