Rabbit Redux

Style and Technique

In «Rabbit Redux», John Updike employs a realistic style that allows for a deep immersion into the everyday life of the main character, Harry «Rabbit» Angstrom. The language of the work is rich in detail, helping to create a vivid and authentic picture of American life in the late 1960s. Updike masterfully uses internal monologues and stream of consciousness to convey the complex emotional states and thoughts of the characters. Literary devices such as symbolism and allusions play an important role in revealing themes of racism, the Vietnam War, and social change. The narrative structure is non-linear, with frequent flashbacks and shifts in perspective, allowing for a deeper understanding of the characters' inner worlds and motivations.
