Resource summary

LBIA J&A's relationship
  1. Jimmy resents Alison's upbringing, marriage is an institution of the establishmen, imagery such as "slaughter" and "execution" conveys Jimmy's derision for such traps.
    1. The role play between the couple using animal imagery of the bear and squirrill - "the pain of being human beings any longer" Jimmy's hypersensitivity, when he becomes a bear the appeal of being all love and no brains is that human response is distilled to pure feeling which has less cerebral weight than thinking. Role playing a bear provides a temporary respite for J from his own intellectual hypersensitivity.
      1. Sounds as though Alison's relationship with Jimmy was a kidnapping, "savage", "ruthless", "hostile" As though Alison is a trophy of the war between the classes
        1. Alison describes a luminescence about Jimmy when she first saw him. Stemming from the need to rebel against her parents. "His armor didn't really shine very much anymore" his allure wore off.
          1. Passive aggressive relationship - Jimmy is always trying to "draw blood" from Alison
            1. See's Alison going to church as betrayal "You Judas!" Teddy bears sound symbolise's his anguish
