Above: As Danny propels himself through the Overlook's corridors. The red, white, and blue of his clothing (the white is in his sneakers) represent the colors of the flag of the United States, and thus, as stated earlier in the analysis, Danny represents a subset of American males. However, the red rear axle, blue seat-back, and white hand grips of his tricycle represent the red, white, and blue of Freemasonry. The shape and color of the tricycle seat-back taken together, symbolize Kubrick's evil elite Jews and 'feminine evil'. This symbolism is described below.
Above left: To see how it is that the shape of Danny's tricycle seat-back represents evil elite Jews and feminine evil, we begin with the Jewish Star of David, with the border of the center region of the Star shown in thick lines. Above right: The center region of the Star of David isolated (and enlarged for clarity). This figure is a regular hexagon (a six-sided figure). (Continued below).
Above left and right: The isolated center region of the Star of David, extended in the vertical direction along with a decrease in its width (left-hand screencap), and with the upper half and a small portion of the lower half filled in with blue (right-hand screencap). Note that the blue part of the right-hand figure has essentially the same shape as the tricycle seat-back. Carl Jung links vertical height with the unconscious,[a] which in a woman, normally has male characteristics.[b] However, Jung also says that the color blue symbolizes the feminine.[c] The implication is that the unconscious of the dreamer, i.e., that of Susan Robertson, has a greater than is usual (for a woman) abundance of feminine characteristics within it, which is compensated for by an overly-masculine (again, for a woman) conscious. The latter observation is in line with the fact that Susan had gone hunting with her husband, for hunting is an activity that is generally considered to be masculine.
Within a societal context, the shape of the tricycle seat-back, since it is derived from the Star of David (as described above), represents Kubrick's evil elite Jews, and its disproportionate extension in the vertical direction, taken together with its blue coloring, represent male/female 'combined' (i.e., hermaphroditic) evil, with an emphasis on the feminine principle. The idea is that the conspiratorial parties consist, in part, of evil elite hermaphroditic Jews and evil elite feminists.
Recall from earlier in the analysis that Danny is, in part, a representation of the thirteen year old boy who was with his parents while they were driving, in their red VW, to the Overlook hotel. If we take Danny to be thirteen years old instead of six, then since The Shining is set in 1977, Danny would have been born in 1963 or 1964, and thus, he would be a trailing-edge baby boomer, i.e., he would have been born between 1956 and 1964. The outcome of this is that it is actually to be a man who is a trailing-edge boomer, instead of someone from Generation X, who is to initiate the process whereby America's course will be corrected. (In the Pulp Fiction analysis on the Can Analyze blog, it was observed that filmmaker Quentin Tarantino was born in 1963.) It is still largely the men of Generation X themselves (and the women working with them) who are to implement the correction process.
None of the foregoing is meant to imply that people from other generations, such as Generation Y and later, the leading edge baby boom (birth years 1946-1955), and generations whose members were born earlier than 1946, are not going to be part of the correction process. But as a group, members of Gen X are more 'disconnected' from feminism than those born later, and are therefore less likely to be looking at things through feminism-tinted glasses, while at the same time they are young enough to still be energetic; and trailing edge boomers have the optimal combination of wisdom gained from experience, and drive. Note that in the foregoing, groups of people are being referred to; obviously, there are going to be differences between persons as individuals, both within and across groups.
Note that we're not equating the real-life man who is to initiate the bringing about of beneficial change, with Danny to the extent that this man (the above-mentioned trailing edge baby boomer) suffers from psychosis, that he was sexually abused as a child, that either of his parents were violent or were alcoholics, or that he (or his family) has any other specific negative traits that Danny (and his parents) have, or has undergone any particular negative experiences that Danny himself is depicted as having gone through, in The Shining.
