The moral of this story is that if you spend enough time negging a woman, she'll be okay with giving birth to the antichrist. There's a lot of feminist analysis that can be unpacked here, much more than I was expecting for a 50-year old book. I also found amazing resonance with The Yellow Wallpaper, often throughout but strongly in the doctor segments, and completely in synch right after the birth. I cry at nothing, and cry most of the time. 
 There's also some fascinating anthropology about religion to unpack. We have the passive catholic world on one end trying to save Rosemary by warning her and allowing her to choose Grace, while the dangers of agnosticism open the door to allow God to be killed and the antichrist to be born. It's also interesting commentary on the Baby Boomers and the rise of the hippies and God failing to keep Kennedy from being assassinated all converging to push organized religion out of general bougie acceptance. I will be interested to see how this compares and contrasts with how this theme is handled in The Exorcist.
