→‎Greater Picture: Vernon-s breakdown, and a spot of clarification
Dòng 42:
{{Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Intermediate Spoiler}}
 
This chapter shows how far the Dursleys will go to appear normal to their neighbors and avoid drawing attention to themselves, although their actions are anything but ''normal''. Their obsessive need to maintain this facade is why they often hide Harry in his room, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Chamber of Secrets/Chapter 1|including when they are entertaining guests early in the next book]], and it is also the reason they keepdon't carry out their threat to throw him atout of their homehouse after the dramatic events at the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Order of the Phoenix/Chapter 1|beginning of Harry's fifth year]].
 
It is perhaps of interest that Vernon's actions during this chapter and the next are a reasonable depiction of someone suffering a stress-related nervous breakdown. Vernon has spent ten years trying to suppress the knowledge that Harry is a Wizard, and now sees that effort crashing down around him as the letters from the Wizarding World start appearing. And here, we see the author's sense of humour showing, as she has Vernon using a piece of fruitcake as a hammer, and has letters appear inside eggshells.
