FAQ About Enemy

Common questions about Enemy and this extraordinary reality-warping story.

What does the spider mean?

The spider symbolizes totalitarian control, specifically the subconscious fear of commitment, motherhood, and domestic entrapment that terrifies the protagonist.

Are Adam and Anthony the same person?

Most interpretations suggest they are the same man struggling with a dissociative identity split: one is the faithful husband (Adam), the other the cheater (Anthony).

Why does the wife scream at the end?

She screams because she sees the spider (her husband's view of her) in the room. It signifies that the cycle has not been broken and his fear of intimacy remains.

What is the significance of the blueberries?

Blueberries are the only food Adam eats, while Anthony hates them. This small detail is a subtle hint used by the wife to verify that the man she is with is not who he claims to be.
