Biblical notes of the meeting with Don Cesare Pagazzano
In this episode Judith hinders older people, asking them not to surrender. And here now takes the field the most "powerful" the armies of the children of Abraham ... Judith itself.
the impressive way in which the writer of this book describes Judith Holofernes prepend, the most ferocious and indomitable generals of Nebuchadnezzar, so strong that nobody can keep his head, Judith ... so nice to win all men, including armies.
But she is prepared to fight those who are fielding their "women's weapons", wash, it smells and combs, wearing the finest clothes and most magnificent jewels.
And now it's imagined the scene: the open doors of the besieged city, and descend from the heights towards the enemy camp, accompanied by one servant. Not as a helpless victim who is sold to the enemy, but as an exile who admits the inevitability of defeat and asks for protection.
All the men appear to have gained his army, and the accompanying forces in the tent of Holofernes.
It stressed the danger in which it was also entering an armed camp, swarming with men who did not see a woman in months. But none of these is the violence. One must ask:
-
Because otherwise the story did not end as we know?
-
O because he had fortitude, dignity and firmness to those who fail to stand up to anyone who is parasse from before?
For my part I prefer the latter.
These emphases should be referred to the notes above, in which Judith embodies the salvation of Israel, despite being a Samaritan, a region considered heretical and almost hostile to the kingdom of Jerusalem.
The meeting continued on dissertations related to beauty, understood as:
- something vital, that brings out its best
- What makes a person who weaves and expand strengthen the bonds, not inhibit them
- The definition of beauty, not seen as beautiful in the modern sense, but sensory, concrete, something that is expressed and feels.
- She understood as "identity card" of a people.
