Perhaps my other supposition, that Shane is either Bobby's father,or was once a lover of Marian's ismore acceptable.

This is a stretch just like the notion that while Joe was off doing his chores, Shane snuck back to the house, dropped his pants, and shtooped Marian. Sorry, I just don't buy that.

Then there is an awful lot of sexual tension for no reason. Take the pushing over of the dead tree. If that ain't Freudian as all git out, I'll, uh, smoke a cigar or something.

Go back and read Bobby's description of it. The two of them should join hands around the trunk? Sweaty heaving bodies. My gosh, it screams at you. We just have to interpret the screams. parsy.
