Rebel without a Cause depicts the story of three teenagers, each coming from somewhat atypical, dysfunctional families. Jim’s mother is the epitomy of the typical 1950’s stay-at-home mom with a twist, that is, she is overly demanding and controlling of Jim’s father. Jim’s father is spineless and does not have a say in anything, which leaves Jim feeling afraid of being a “chicken” like he perceives his father to be. ...
The title “Rebel without a Cause” is a paradox within itself. The viewer is left to realize that the teens in the film were not merely being belligerent or deviant, but that they were reacting to the difficulties and problems that existed within their own families, their behavior did have a cause, it was a cry for help.
It is clear that the teens depicted in Rebel Without a Cause have problems coping with or perhaps a crisis in their developing selves.
