Patterns, as an indicator of Patterns of Behavior is another reason this film could overlap forwards and backwards.
The abuse cycle is literally a pattern of behavior and this very cycle plays out across scenes and chapters.
Scene pairs where scenes reflect and repeat is another instance of pattern of behavior showing itself, especially through color, literal visual patterning, and especially dialogue.
Danny’s triking sequences near future violence, Wendy’s association with Food and Jack’s choice of isolation and then attacking his family members are other instances of patterns of behavior.
