How does Hiram react to RC Rydell

R.C. Rydell is a sadistic young man who Hiram socializes and goes fishing frequently with. He is considered to be a polar opposite of Hiram, as he is loud, rude, and is extremely cruel. R.C. also has a distinct prejudiced personality that does not stop at race but goes on to anyone who has any kind of difference to himself. Hiram is reluctant to interact with him because of R.C.'s cruel nature that he witnesses, including the harassment of the Remington brothers and the torturous death of a catfish that accidentally stung him.
