Abstract

The confrontation between the father and the son in Rabbit Is Rich is because of Harry’s unquenchable sexual desire and his jealousy towards Nelson. Due to the sexual obsession and rivalry with his son, the relationship between them breaks, which causes the animosity resulting disintegration of familial order. Harry’s involvement in extra- marital relationships does not give him full satisfaction. Harry tries, but fails to impose his will upon his son. As a result the serious tension prevails between them. The generation gap between the father and son dramatizes the passions that can divide closely held family business.
