The Crisis and Reconstruction in Rabbit Redux
Abstract
In Rabbit Redux, Updike offers numerous depictions of the counterculture movement, encompassing various aspects such as social values, family, marriage, race, and self-identity. Scholars both at home and abroad have carried out extensive analyses on this and achieved considerable outcomes. Nevertheless, their research is predominantly centered on the negative influences the counterculture movement exerted on the society at that time, lacking in-depth exploration of the protagonist's responses to the counterculture movement and the reconstruction of the self. This paper endeavors to conduct a study on this issue.
