In this scene, Nat realizes that Roper's dislikes him because he is envious of his privilege, being a St. Paul's Boy. However, this makes Nat feel even worse. Roper
continues to provoke Nat by teasing him about leaving the bear pit. Roper's bullying is a direct result of his jealousy.... an attempt to prove himself.
