> It's a good story to tell a friend who's trying to rationalize being passive in an abusive relationship.

Uhmm ... so they should be passive or they will get killed? I guess that was not the point you were trying to make? Like, warn them, that if they don't play their cards right, it will end bad, like for the mouse?

Well, not OPENLY confronting your abusive lord was a pretty good advise. Cutting your losses and leaving when nobody was looking, or, some "happy little accident" if there was no way to leave would have been the clever choice.

I don't know if it's a good story for telling said friend, but the point would be to get out of the relationship before the cat eats you.
