especially when you contemplate the deeper meaning of screwing in the lightbulb.

on one level the fact that we associate screwing with sexual acts is quite telling. On a deeper level, the goal of inserting the bulb is to produce light; that is to say one possesses the desire to reproduce the effects of the sun. Yet when one really considers this, we do so to make ourselves feel safer within a confined space which is representative of the womb: we are constantly seeking to reenter our mothers.
