The Death of Bunny Munro ending explained: Does Bunny go to hell?
Bunny had whisked away his nine-year-old, Bunny Jr, on a chaotic road trip around Sussex, under the flimsy premise that he would teach him the tricks of his trade as a door-to-door salesman.
Although Bunny Jr initially saw his father through rose-tinted glasses, those eventually dropped as his behaviour became ever more reckless, clearly exposing the fact that he wasn't capable of raising him alone.
This is where the show takes a turn for the surreal, with Bunny being guided to an unsettling music lounge filled with faces from his past, including late wife Libby (Sarah Greene).
As Libby and others in the lounge make their way upstairs for "a party," Bunny is informed that he's not invited, leaving him alone in the empty venue where the devil tenderly embraces him.
Perhaps he could have heeded the reports of approaching doom and meaningfully changed his ways to avert such a catastrophe, but his continued commitment to hedonism and self-interest made his rendezvous with the devil an inevitability.
"It is innate within us – a kind of predatory sexual-ness – just as violence is innate within us. We're born with it. I think we must learn certain other things in order to negotiate ourselves through life, and those things are the better aspects of our character – empathy and intimacy."
In-keeping with this assessment, Bunny gains a kind of self-awareness in death – recognising his faults and the bright promise in his son – but this doesn't absolve him of his total immorality in life.
Certainly, it's one valid way to interpret the disquieting image of Bunny's lonely dance with the devil. However, the following scene suggests a more purgatorial fate.
He learned these behaviours from watching his own father, Bunny Sr (David Threlfall), as shown by how he mimics the very same hand gestures when approaching a girl at the edge of the swimming pool – resembling the floppy ears of a bunny rabbit.
This might represent Bunny's descent to "hell" or, alternatively, an afterlife spent languishing in purgatory, which would reflect his inability to grow or change on the mortal plane.
