Bathsheba

ruin his reputation with the townspeople. Additionally, because of his guilt of not being able to confess his sin, he looks at the tapestry of David and Bathsheba to remind himself of his grave sin. “The walls were hung around the tapestry, said to be from the goblin looms, and, at all events, representing the Scriptural story of David and Bathsheba”(ch. 9; 112). The tapestry constantly reminds Dimmesdale of his sin and leads him to even more guilt. The “A” drives him to commit intense penance…

the couple to get married outside of God’s will. An example of this issue was shown with David in regard to Bathsheba. “Perhaps the most prominent regulatory rule of marriage (here including betrothal) is that the husband has an exclusive claim to the sexual activities of his wife.” (Jackson, 239) David was not Bathsheba’s husband, but had sexual intercourse with her anyhow. Bathsheba was actually someone else’s wife. David broke the law, by having sexual intercourse with her while she was…

from wrong. In this way a story can be used to help people recognize wrong that they are trying to hide, justify, or ignore. Nathan does this in 2 Samuel 12:1-4 with the story of the rich man and the poor man, convicting King David of his sin with Bathsheba.…

In these depictions, Artemisia again exhibits her capacity to adjust to the curiosities of the period and handle distinctive subjects, rather than the standard Judith, Susanna, Bathsheba, and Penitent Magdalenes, for which she as of now was known. A significant number of these depictions were joint efforts; Bathsheba, for example, was credited to Artemisia, Codazzi, and Gargiulo. “In The Artemisia Files, Mieke Bal and her coauthors look squarely at this early icon of feminist art history…

Each of these parts was named after female biblical characters. These names are Bathsheba, Eve, and Jael. In Part One, Bathsheba, Ulrich explained the economic life such as differents ways women had to get involved with agriculture, around the house, or even their husband’s businesses. This described how women sometimes had to be deputy husbands, which…

The story shifted when David saw Bathsheba bathing on a roof and committed adultery. To hide his sin of impregnating Bathsheba, he sent her husband, Uriah, to the front lines where he would be killed, and took Bathsheba for himself. David’s’ weakness of women is alike in the weakness of Achilles’ heel. “The thing that David had done was evil in the eyes of the LORD.” Even after…

The residents of the Bathtub are amazingly self-reliant on themselves. They build their own homes, they provide their own version of education, they feed themselves, and they look out for one another. Applying the ecosystems perspective there are a couple of strengths. As well as downfalls to their way of life. The members of the Bathtub have established relatedness and competence (Lesser and Pope, 2011, p. 22). The residents look out for each other tremendously; they are interdependent on one…

In the famous novel The Scarlet Letter written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Hawthorne writes a story which focuses on the sinful action of adultery and writes about how this sin affects several characters. One of these characters is known as Arthur Dimmesdale. In the novel, Arthur Dimmesdale is known to be a normal Puritan minister who preaches inspiring sermons to the little town of Boston in the 17th century. All the townspeople look up to Dimmesdale as a role model figure and show a great deal of…

When we go to church, the preachers barely mention horrible events, sex, or violence happening in the Bible. Thompson gave an example of Tamar, who was raped by her brother Amnon. Dinah, Bathsheba, and some other women are also being mistreated by men who are close to them. Thompson stated, “As daughter and wives, they (women) are assumed to belong to fathers and husbands, subject to the control of men.” At that time women have no voice or power compares to men and thy are barely mentioned in…

multiple wives which was against God’s covenant with Israel (Deuteronomy 17:17, NIV). He also committed adultery with Bathsheba as a result of lust and then tried to murder her husband to cover his tracks (2 Samuel 11, NIV). David did not exercise a mature thought process nor did he thoroughly think through the situation prior to committing these acts. As a result both David, Bathsheba and the kingdom…
