Anger of Gods Depicted in the Old Testament and Kafkas Book, Metamorph
The anger of Gods throughout both stories leads you to believe that the Gods will not hesitate to take revenge on mankind for creating a world of evil in a world they created for good. The Gods from Metamorphoses and the God from the Old volition create a world full of life, to run happy and full of grace. The destruction and recreation of the world by the Gods of each book, however similar they may seem, are full of differences as they both train mankind slightons that should not be forgotten.Whatever God it was, who brought order to the universe, and gave it division, subdivision, he molded earth Metamorphoses pg 685. In the beginning the earth had nothing, no light to bellyache sun, no water to bath in, and no human to walk on the ground that we call land that was not land. The Gods choose to make a vacation spot of sorts. In both literature pieces the Gods divide the heavens and the earth, split the water from the land, light from the dark. The Gods made animals for t his land and water and creatures for the air. But something else was necessitate a finer being, more capable of mind, a sage, a ruler, so man was born, It may be in Gods image Metamorphoses pg 686. And the ecclesiastic God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul The Old Testament pg 54. The Old Testament God thought it was not good for man to be alone so from the bone of mans rib he made a woman. The first murder in the Old Testament is the beginning of God realizing that man was evil, god saw the wickedness of man Old Testament pg 56. Cain off his brother Abel, out of jealousy of the Lords love. Able a Sheppard who brought the fat of the animals and the Lord had respect fo... ...s to repopulate the earth, Go from the temple, c everyplace your heads, loosen your robes, and throw your mothers cram behind you pg 692. Pyrrha being so innocent could not throw the bones of her mother and refused unti l she would never insult her mother in such a way. Themis over and over told them to do this until Deucalion thought maybe he meant to throw stones behind them. When Deucalion and Pyrrha did this the stones began to lose their hardness, to soften, slowly, to take on form, to grow in size, a little, become less rough, to look like human beings pg 693. All the stones that Deucalion threw turned to man and all the stones that Pyrrha threw behind her became women. Life began to form from other things as well. The moist mud from the wet drying turned to animals that now roam our earth, swim in our seas and oceans, birds that fly in our skies.
