These parallels & allagoricals cannot be
take too far, but both men are miraculously saved at
infancy, free their people from bondage, suffer their
rebellion, and mediate their survival between a vindictive
deity--YHWH, and the SYSTEM--and their own self-destructive
drives. Both lead their people to a promised land and both
are denied the entrance to the promised land.
It's another dialectic Pynchon rejects, Old and New
Testament.
"Negative. Wrong story." GR.660
Wrong story, wrong book, wrong dude, not Satan, not Christ.
