# Who is Badger?

> The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame

## Answer

Badger lives in the wild wood — authoritative, solitary, respected, stern friend who shelters Mole and Rat in winter and leads recovery of Toad Hall. He represents wisdom and social gravity when Toad’s antics spin out.

Badger scolds without abandoning — locks Toad up, plans tunnel attack on weasels. Students should cite wild wood chapter hospitality and final siege leadership. He balances Rat’s river ease and Toad’s flash.
