This chapter's epigraph is from the play's opening line, "You are my prey" . It's a reference to the fact that the protagonist is being eaten by a rabbit. The protagonist is outraged at the idea that he's being eaten. He's sure that the rabbit is a "herbivorous rabbit" , but he doesn't understand why the rabbit would want to eat him. He wants to know what the heck the rabbit's doing with him. The rabbit tells him to "lift look . . rub shake wait" and he does just that. Then the rabbit starts to make fun of the protagonist's appearance, and the protagonist starts to lose his mind.
