Thank you We sneak Weathering heights in the bible allah

00:06

shmoop so i'm thinking about literature in the one hundred

00:11

years before this and sort of how things evolve to

00:14

it and you know i was back the bible that's

00:16

really good place to start moses little more than a

00:19

hundred years a little more but it's the root of

00:22

so much of our literature you know i think about

00:25

where the role moses played in all of this dark

00:29

rooting or proto interesting because the way that moses is

00:34

presented to us via like disney and other places yeah

00:38

he kind of does have that dark brooding thing going

00:40

on actually don't hear a lot like yeah he's in

all of exodus but like there's not a lot of

descriptions like who he is as a person but yet

01:09

And that he's doing exactly what he's told to do

01:11

he's rebelling against the egyptians But he's not rebelling It's

01:14

god And so when we see a character than like

01:16

satan come up and actually rebel that's when we're like

01:19

Okay this guy is rebelling it's the big one Is

01:24

moses a byronic hero There was a scene where heathcliff
