Quote #4
That instinct sickened suddenly with disgust; the miscarriage, after all, had been my loss as well. (3.120)
In our eyes, this might be the root of Rojack's feelings of dissatisfaction—to an extent, at least. Remember: Rojack fantasizes about impregnating every woman that he sleeps with, as if that will help him gain control of his life.
Quote #5
A leaden anxiety settled in my stomach; just that sort of bottomless pit I used to feel when I had been away from Deborah. (3.288)
Deborah's gone, but Rojack still can't escape his feelings of dissatisfaction. He expected that pain to go away once she was gone, but he was as wrong as wrong could be. Could it be that Deborah wasn't the only cause of his unhappiness, after all?
Quote #6
My burned-up lungs went clear—once again this night I was taking one of those fine new breaths I had not known in twenty years. (4.18)
Rojack feels as fresh and as clean as Outkast—what a far cry from the mopey sad-sack we've been hanging out with this whole time. Now that Rojack has murdered Deborah and met Cherry, he actually seems to be in control of his life.
