The main male character is raped on-screen for several minutes (midway through the second act): it occurs while he is under the influence of drugs. Several antisemitic statements are said during this. His wife later accuses the rapist to his face in front of his family and friends. The protagonist tells his wife that he does not wish to have sex with her and she ignores this: she stimulates him with her hand despite him repeatedly saying no and asking her to stop. The main character's niece is approached by a drunk man after a conversation where he implied wanting to have sex with her. It is suggested that he assaulted her off-screen.
