In today’s (mini) episode, Ashley concludes her discussion on the symbolism of rabbits and rainbows and what they might tell us about Stranger Things 5 and the conclusion of the show as a whole by talking about the Rainbow. Ashley unpacks its symbolism (both religious and secular), the science behind what makes a rainbow a bow of rain, and of course, breaks down the rainbow imagery and its symbolism as seen throughout Stranger Things.

In today’s episode, Ashley discusses the symbolism of the rabbit – a common motif that appears throughout Stranger Things, but most commonly in seasons 1, 4, and, as Ashley speculates here, will be a prominent theme in Season 5 – and what the furry animal can tell us about the deeper meaning of the show.

*Please note: Ashley mistakenly forgot to include in this episode the scene in ST4, Chapter 7 where Holly is making a Rabbit on her Lite Brite. She will be forever horrified by this error and asks for your forgiveness 🙂
