Orwell notes that the young, Buddhist priests did little but taunt and laugh at Europeans. He dislikes the priests and notes that for as much as he dislikes his job and finds the Empire to be evil, he would like to "drive a bayonet into a Buddhist priest's guts" on account of the fact "the young Buddhist priests were the worst of all . . . none of them seemed to have anything to do except stand on street corners and jeer at Europeans."
