I don't see any working out or recapping or eigenvalues of any part of
the Sara/Sarah Bible story (nor do I feel the need for one here,
there's plenty going on in the chapter as it is)

chiefly the significance of the name Sarah is to stress this woman's
"created equal" status to Rachel and Esther, isn't it?
Or to position her in the same tradition anyway - to include her in
the same continuum

Just happenstance of birth making the only difference...
pointing up the injustice
