Quote #4
"It starts earlier than two, believe me. Sexual antagonism begins practically at birth." (5.28)
This is Lucy and Rabbit. Lucy appears to also belief that men and women are eternally divided, and that all children want to sleep with their parent of the opposite sex and do away with the other. See the chapter for fun and games with Freud.
Quote #5
"Right," he replies smartly and, in a mindless follow-through, an overflow of coordination, she having on the drop of his answer turned with prim dismissal away from him again, slaps! her sassy ass. Not hard: a cupping hit, rebuke and fond pat both, well placed on the pocket. (5.46)
Did this surprise you? Did you know Rabbit was such an animal? Does Lucy have a duty to tell Eccles about it?
Quote #6
"Stripper, hell. I’ve been in here three whole weeks looking for my motorcycle." (9.73)
This is the punch line to Ronnie Harrison’s joke about a prostitute with a large vagina (whatever that means). Nobody at the table finds it funny, which Rabbit blames on Ronnie’s poor delivery. What, if anything, does it tell us about Ronnie’s way of looking at sex?
