Detailed Review Summary of Rabbit, Run by John Updike
There are only two rhymes in this villanelle, each are placed strategically in the poem. All in all, I think it's well worth listening to and am now wondering whether to wait for the audioversion of the sequel 'Rabbit Redux' or just to read the printed version. He opens his eyes, seeking her, and sees her face a soft mask gazing downward calmly, caring for him, and closes his eyes on the food of her again; his hand abandoned on the breadth of her body finds at arm's length a split pod, an open fold, shapeless and simple.

Updike, on the other hand, I always felt wants us to like Rabbit. He takes the actions that could easily be presented as those actions that we would apply to a human, and shows how it can be applied to a dog. And we revolt and run away… But is there a place to run to? Then Humboldt acts from the grave to change Charlie's life: he has left Charlie something in his will. . His presentations of the events make the underlying story easier to understand. The writing is delicious, and I have neve John Updike has a very non-traditional interpretation of redemption, and you find that in his main character, Harry Angstrom, also known as Rabbit.
