Why does that rat come to visit Joe? What does it represent?
The comes to visit Joe because he has a wound that has not healed up. The rat reminds him when he was in war. He remembers seeing an officer get his face chewed on by a rat. When Joe feels his cut on his side it reminds him of that experience.
It represents a itch that keeps on knawing at his body. He can't do anything about it but feel his since of touch. This rat could be a itch, or doctors working on him that we don't know about. I think we will find out more about this itch later in the book.
