He's the Stupid little mail whose only pi'Si

the truth when is running away front it.
In a sense he cannot help running away
because his truth is connected with a lost
innocence the type of innocence on*' has ns

gone and the mature man realizes it and
accepts the vcidut wMh dignity But Rabbit
is not mature
For a better understanding of the novel,
it seems that T'pdik*' should have included

I pdike evidently doesn't consider this
question an important one It is as if the

t'pdtke poses no answer for Rabbit's escape,

It appears that Rabbit is bound to run for
eternity
