Title: The Sun and The Moon

I've been reading some Tom Robbins lately and he does a lot of solar/lunar, masculine/feminine symbolism. Sometimes he mentions them outright. Where do these fit into our themes?

Lots of undertones in the Big Lebowski related to The Sun and The Moon.
"STRONGLY VAGINAL"
"LOG JAMMING"
"I'LL GO FIND A CASH MACHINE"

The way the female characters are written and how they interact with The Dude in the film kind of reflects how the media often portrays the female?

What do you think?

Maude repesents Isis, the moon goddess. the Dude represents many deities, Apollo/Ra would be the sun god. The Dude's burning car is Ra's golden barque.
