Wheres Satan?


The Adversary. One of the main Characters in the destruction of Earth, God,and man, and no limelight? you blow Aronofsky, at least get your sh*t straight you dolt.

If he's only doing Old Testament, technically there was no Satan character yet. Lucifer and Satan is all New Testament.

reply

Sorry, but the "Serpent" was Satan. He definitely in the OT. Book of Job as well.

reply

Only in interpretations by people who want to reconcile OT and NT

reply

You actually make a good point. It doesn't say the Serpent is actually Satan. Maybe that's why he left Him out.

reply

Yep.

Arronofsky was under no obligation to be slavishly faithful to the biblical texts he was borrowing from. There is a clear villain in the story and no need for Satan. The villain is humanity.

reply

true, humanity is by far that villain. it seemed odd that he did not include the mastermind behind that inhumanity since he's used the Bible. Especially the character that's responsible for this destruction through "the fall".,which was the serpent, the beast, aka Lucifer/Devil, to most through interpretation.

I also believe he used the new testament as well. If you're going to use characters in a book at least include the main one. as frogorama mention i may understand why.

Satan is not a major character in the NT. That would be Jesus, who does indeed make a brief appearance in the movie.
