My lestrange brothers thesis:
^^^
(SN: I call them brothers instead of twins because there is this small disconnect and plus they donât look like each other all that much lol) (itâs symbolic and literal guys)
Rabastan whose guard dog persona works wonderfully with Rodolphus!!! So Rodolphus doesnât regret who Rabastan has become! And when Rab builds his ENTIRE identity on being Rodâs âguardâ, his brother doesnât blink twice because he think itâs what Rab wants, and who is he to deny HIS âtwinâ anything? No matter how inhumane Rab becomes, Rodolphus will always love him. Thatâs his younger twin brother!
^^^ THEMMMM
Rabastan can become this inhuman monster, a murder of innocents, a man who married the child he was fond of, the man who is a violent dog that bites and chews but never letâs go. And Rodolphus will just smile and look the other way to give him a cup of tea and biscuits.
While Rabastan will never see that (guys he has his reasons), Rodolphus does (though he never acts very much on it because he doesnât think he needs to) and itâs what their relationship is!
^^ RODOLPHUS AFTER RAB DIES
His brotherâs death will haunt him till the end of days because Rod loves him and his love killed Rabastan. The only thing is that Rod will never grieve with is the idea that âthe one consist thing in their life is now goneâ, he grieves because he loves Rab! Not because they were each otherâs constant.
