PAN is an 'Israeli' cult [see My 'Cave In ' Post]

Jeff of course is 'enamoured' by this Beautiful 'Mermaid' /Siren as She represents a kind of 'Soul reflection' [hence the Lyrics in 'just dropped in to see what condition' etc]

All Characters[except Jeff ie 'Death'] are Their own opposite [Archetype] so the 'Blonde Female' has 'Her' Male Dark Hair counterpart in the 'Ring' Cycle- 'Harrington' .

[The Basketball vest is a 'Red Herring'- relating to another family member who actually played College Basketball- the previously divorced BEAU BRIDGES]

a more modern Literary  version Includes similar 'forms'

Rabbit, Run is a 1960 novel by John Updike. The novel depicts three months in the life of a 26-year-old former high school basketball player named Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom who is trapped in a loveless marriage and a boring sales job, and his attempts to escape the constraints of his life. 

It spawned several sequels, including Rabbit ReduxRabbit is Rich and Rabbit at Rest, as well as a related 2001 novella, Rabbit Remembered. In these novels, Updike takes a comical and retrospective look at the relentless questing life of Rabbit against the background of the major events of the latter half of the 20th century.

Updike said, "About sex in general, by all means let's have it in fiction, as detailed as needs be, but real, real in its social and psychological connections.

 Let's take coitus out of the closet and off the altar and put it on the continuum of human behavior."[7]

 Rabbit has an animalistic obsession with sex rather than a romanticized vision.He uses superficial criteria to pick his partners. He is taken with Ruth because she "feels right" as long as she doesn't use a "flying saucer" (a diaphragm), and even compels her to fellate him during a particularly intense bout of physical desire.He seems to use intense sex to replace what is missing from his work and life at home.

 His sexual prowess also supplies him with the sense of identity that his basketball playing gave him.[8]He tries to be with two women in his life, his wife Janice and Ruth Leonard. 

Rabbit’s marriage with Janice resulted from her pregnancy when Rabbit was only 21 years old. Janice was prone to drinking and has a knack for angering her husband, although she may truly love Rabbit for who he is. Ruth Leonard worked as a prostitute; she lives alone in a two-person apartment before Rabbit settles in with her. She is very conscious of her weight, considering herself plump, but at one moment, to Rabbit’s eyes, she becomes “Beauty home image.” She lives with Rabbit for two months, during which time Rabbit impregnates her.

Religion

For Updike, the particular etiology of Rabbit's sickness can be perceived as his distance from God, illustrated by his cavalier conversations with Eccles.The existing framework of religion and ethics should support his devotion to his marriage, job, and life, but he finds it utterly unsatisfactory.[9] 

Rabbit is clearly a sinner and in some ways he is aware of that, but he still quests for some kind of religious meaning in his life, “Well I don't know all this about theology, but I'll tell you. I do feel, I guess that somewhere behind all this... there's something that wants me to find it!”[10]

 Rabbit has a crisis of faith and doesn’t know what to do and calls his local pastor for help with the issue.

He calls Jack Eccles who is a young minister suffering a crisis of faith. Eccles makes “saving” Rabbit his mission. “Updike explores whether someone like Rabbit might gain the sanguinity of a genuine faith as posited by Updike's hero Kierkegaard, whether in fact even God's grace might defeat the thoroughgoing identity problems that seem to plague contemporary men and women like Rabbit.

 In Rabbit, Run Updike raises the question of whether ethical wrongdoing and sin—acts for which we would hope Rabbit would take responsibility and repent—even exist for those with confused identities, especially when genuine loving requires sexual restraint. Some readers might ponder, along with Updike, whether grace penetrates not only sinful incorrigibility, but also theological confusion, genetic predisposition, and mental illness (Crowe 82).” Rabbit is faced with human challenges in his marriage with a drunken wife, an overbearing mother, the death of his newborn daughter and the pregnancy resulting from his infidelity.

It is a general reoccurrence that Rabbit has religious thoughts or conversations and “Harry can be considered as a religious.It is because of the loss of faith that causes his first escape. When he finds that life is meaningless, he abandons his wife and children, and leaves home to seek that self under the guidance of God. But his religion is not strong; he just treats it as a kind of spiritual sustenance to escape from the reality and a tool to solve practical problems. When religion cannot solve problems for him, and indicate a way out, his faith in God begins to shake,”

 (Zhang, 283). Nothing is consistent in Rabbit’s life except for his need to run from all of life’s problems.

Identity

Rabbit faces a deep-seated psychological identity crisis throughout the book. This is due somewhat to his affectionless relationship with his mother, which has at the very least given him cause to imagine matricidal and suicidal acts.[11] Rabbit hungers for something more than what he has, for a return to the golden era of his youth, for the sexual comfort of his relationship with Janice, and for a worldview that fits his tumultuous emotions. Rabbit Angstrom is dealing with his identity crisis and is trying to get help from the people he loves and needs to be next to him. Rabbit gets many scenarios and situations from family and friends to make his life better for himself and others around him. He tries his best to become a better person and man. Rabbit filled his emptiness in his life through lessons taught by other people in his life.He was taught that Faith can be used to help you become at peace with what you are going through like a tragic time you just encountered and how to cope with it after that. He was working an 8-5 accounting job out of high school at a local office and was getting bored of working there so he decided what is next for him to do after being an all-state basketball player.“If we are to understand Rabbit's identity crisis as emerging from Updike's Christian apologetics, the important critical task is to recognize the combination of sin, agitated depression, and simple worldliness in Rabbit, and to detect and describe the particular form of irony with which Updike hints at alternatives to his character's acts.These alternative acts will be Christian works of love that, in Kierkegaardian fashion, transcend the ethical and epitomize a genuine faith and sanguine identity. (Crowe 84)”In this paragraph by Crowe, he talks about how Rabbit has an identity crisis and he is explaining the Christian way that Rabbit grew up in and how that affected how he is to combat sin and depression and other worldly things that have happened in his life.

[.now We know why Bunny wears a Basketball Vest...Dude...and the furniture in that pic I have 

'elaborated' elsewhere in this blog.. 'Barley Twist' etc]


BE REAL CAREFUL NOW JEFF -SKINNING UP A BUNNY...LOL...

Rabbit at Rest (1990) brings Rabbit into the 1980s to confront an even grimmer set of problems: acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS; an incurable disease that attacks the immune system), cocaine addiction, and terrorism. 

Rabbit suffers a heart attack and is haunted by ghosts of his past. Death looms ever larger. 

In these four novels an insignificant life presses and insists itself upon our consciousness, and we realize that this life has become the story of our common American experience recorded over three decades.
