That is a crucial scene because Jenny's act of self-defense is met with stereotypic male responses. Is The World According to Garp a true story? Sex is funny--far from the holy institution many make it out to be--and John Irving understands that. She is never easily impressed or awed by Garp at any stage of their relationship (unlike Hurt's Helen, she never goes to any of Garp's wrestling matches). Young Garp and Cushie play at being married and sexual imitation is implied. Jenny is shot by a sniper; some blood is seen. While running in the park Garp finds a ten year-old who has just been raped. I'm not a John Irving fan. He runs after the college kids, shouting for the officers' attention. Robin Williams's Garp is the film's biggest weakness. Nothing like that is in the film. Jenny has no right to defend herself since they all accuse her of "asking for it."

Perhaps had Ms. Kael seen both aspects of the novel she would have found some "feeling of truth" in it. Not only does Irving's Garp try to understand his own lust, he also struggles to believe in the equality of infidelity. No sexual equality here. In the novel, T. S. Garp is a "one-shot" man: he does his job and is never heard from again. Aside from her comments about Jenny and the Ellen Jamesians--with which I can, in part, agree--she does not address the primary feminist issues in the novel which are, as I have suggested, the centrality of rape, the character of Garp as the new man, and Garp as father.

The film, of course, omits the most important incident that establishes her radical character in the novel--the opening scene in which she slashes a soldier in a movie theater when he jams his hand up her dress. In a wonderfully comic but profound moment, Garp actually becomes what the cabby thinks he is: a woman. Remember that Helen is supposedly the intellectual specializing in literature. The girl stops them before they do anything rash, pointing to her lip to indicate that the bad guy has a mustache.
