rabbit run post 2

In Rabbit Run Updike wants the reader to see how interconnected the happiness of a person is to the people around the and vice versa. If your loved ones or your closest friends are not happy then you are not happy and if you are not happy you can drag everyone else around you down. He also wanted the reader to see what happens to the people who count on you when you let them down, either by running away or not taking care of your responsibilities.
