Whatever justification Rooney has (Ferris ''is'' a HighSchoolHustler with nine absences) pales in comparison to the lengths Rooney is willing to go to destroy Bueller.

* ShadowArchetype: He's serves as this role to Jeannie Bueller. They both despise Ferris to a T, and try to expose him for who he really is and send him back to school. So what's Mr. Rooney's issue? Simple: Rooney goes the extra mile in trying to bring Ferris to justice. This includes personally ditching his responsibility, sneaking up on people, flat-out stalking the boy, breaking into the house, etc. all to try to catch one student. Jeannie may hate her brother, but even she knows when not to cross certain lines. When she sees Rooney at the end of the movie, bruised and broken after a day spent hunting her brother, she glimpses her own future. She realizes that pursuing Ferris and being a bitter teenage tattletale — a kind of junior Rooney — only leads to ruin.
