The Dude

In The Big Lebowski the Dude is the shinning example of the lower class during the 60's. All the man does is eat, drink, smoke, and bowl. His life is a mess and during the movie all he really cares about is getting a rug back that some goons pissed on in the beginning of the movie, which he later steals from the real Big Lebowski. The Dude never really takes care of himself he is always wearing the same clothes, drunk, and stoned. The biggest aspect i would say is in this movie is the identity problem of the Dude himself because he never wants to be called Mr. Lebowski or Jeff he is the Dude, so the inner conflict with the name itself is intriguing. The ideal of not wanting to be known for who you are but the Dude what are the connotations of the Dude compared to Jeff Lebowski.
