Compared to rules, I am more interested in the relationship between nate and rules. There are many splits in nate's stereotypical alpha male athlete image, and this split is especially reflected in the relationship between him and Jules. This split and repressed self-resistance is also reflected in the scene where Nate and his father confronted each other: first it was a primitive confrontation that showed strength and size, and Nate, who could not resist, was overwhelmed by his father in a posture of throwing down the beast/coitus. In the end, the only way to vent the anger and helplessness that has been physically restrained and disciplined for a long time can only be vented by infantile beating and rolling, crying, and self-abuse. Nate's nakedness in the scene also reflects how sex and power interact (the crew also used the same mechanism in the episode where mckay was raped). The most interesting part is that Nate's split is not as thorough as his dad's, but it is constantly torn and glued in pain.
