Considering Blair's crummy luck and his brother's relative success, I kind of feel bad for him. He seems like one of those people who always get the raw deal, the short end of the stick, if you will. Not only this, but now his girlfriend seems to be into Bunny and Bunny is playing her like a violin. It's a shame to see a man like Blair, someone with conviction and determination, be shut down time and time again by society and life in general. In addition, it seems like Bunny doesn't care for Blair at all, whereas Blair tries to help Bunny and gives him advice on how to get his life in order. Bunny almost causes them to get reexamined and possibly have their freedom taken away, just because he refuses to admit that something was his fault. It seems like Pierre is just playing them off of each other for comedic effect, but it still annoys me a little that Blair is getting all of this abuse.
On the other hand, I'm overjoyed for Ludmila and her good fortune. Hopefully, Misha will be able to save Ludmila from going to work at the munitions factory before her family finds out. Her mother and grandmother seem like "the Bunny" of this family: they always rely on other to do work for them, yet seem to consistently succeed. In this way, Ludmila is essentially used by her family, like how Blair is used by Bunny. It seems, however, that Ludmila has some good fortune coming her way through Misha, who has connections and will be able to help them escape West, if they make it out in time.
