Leah

Genesis 34 tells a narrative about Dinah, the daughter of Jacob and Leah. Dinah went to visit the women of the area. As she was out visiting, the prince of the region, Shechem, saw her from afar. Shechem went to Dinah and raped her because of his infatuation with her. Shechem loved Dinah and spoke sweetly to her so that she would be charmed by him. Shechem went to his father, Hamor King of the Hivites. Shechem expressed to his father that he needed Dinah to become his wife. By this time, Jacob had

stories can be successfully presented through the monodrama form. ‘Monodrama is a complete theatrical work and performed by one actor who portrays either a single character, or multiple characters in the dramatic situation.’ (Mackenzie, D., 1996:46). Leah Purcell and Scott Rankin’s Box the Pony (1999), and Sancia Robinson and Wendy Harmer’s What is the Matter with Mary Jane? (1996) are two very exceptional, yet adversative styles of monodrama. Both play-texts carry personal, positive and affirming messages

1a. Bible Reference about Dinah’s Character The Bible introduces Dinah as the daughter of Jacob from Leah; Gen. 30:21 And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah. The remainder of the book of Genesis gives some detail that Dinah was bare in Padanaram, she was the seventh children from Leah and with her other brother (Gen. 46:15). The Bible doesn't describe the appearance, the attitude, even the character of Dinah. We can see a little bit character of Dinah in one occasion when Jacob

Laban pulls on her arm, dragging her through the dirt, her legs scratched from rocks and debris and her hair a tangled mess. She pulls away, but he is too strong and his grasp on her arm sends shooting pains up into her neck. As they approach the tent she screams, “You can’t do this! Jacob is mine, we are in love.” Shoving her inside the tent, she fell to the ground cutting her arm on the crook of her shepherd staff; blood covers her gown. Her body aches from the jostling and cut arm, but pushing

two daughters, Guinevere and Leah. Bannon was like no other, he was very charming and persuasive. Bannon wasn’t like the other kings, he had a special power that only his daughter Guinevere and himself knew. Guinevere and Leah were sisters, but very different. Guinevere was very outgoing and she had more of a sense when it came to others. Leah was too trusting and wouldn’t listen to what Guinevere or Bannon said, which made Bannon very worried. Guinevere and Leah were his pride and joy, and he

come to her rescue. Awakened by a disturbance outside the tent, her heart beats faster. Is that Jacob arguing with the guards? Bursting into the tent, he grasps Rachel’s hands begging her forgiveness. “When I awoke this morning I was shocked to see Leah in our marriage bed. I tried to remember everything that happened last night, but my mind was fogged with partying and wine. You must believe me; I didn’t know it was your sister.” You are the one I love. When we first met, it was love at first sight

explain it because heaven and gods are above us according to mythology/bible (Kingsolver 7). The disaster she alludes is when her and her family went to Africa, for missionary work. I think the reason that Orleanna talks in the past while her daughters Leah, Adah, Ruth May, and Rachel talk in the present, is to give two different perspectives. They (the Price family) are in Africa for a long time, so Orleanna could be talking about something she has already experienced or seen, while the other girls are

Jacob’s vow [FINISH THIS]. When Jacob finally arrives in Haran, Jacob falls in love with Rachel and offers himself to her father, Laban, in return for her. However, on their wedding night, Laban tricks Jacob by switching Rachel with his eldest daughter Leah. When Jacob realizes what happened, he demands that Rachel be married to him as well. Unbeknownst to him, Rachel could not bear children as she was “barren”, however since God was

God interacts with the world in a very unique way. He works by using people as conduits with whom He will ultimately achieve His goal of the Divine Plan. Throughout the Book of Genesis, many cycles of protagonists appear with whom God chooses to interact. In one such cycle, the Jacob Cycle, God influences, molds, and guides Jacob in increasingly personal ways. God influences Jacob throughout his childhood, his journey to Haran, his journey from Haran, and finally, with one last test of will. Throughout

Isaac, Isaac was confused at this point Esau grew very angry at Jacob and Jacob fled. Another part in Jacob 's life is when he was deceived by Laban, the father of Leah and Rachel. The deal with Laban was to for Jacob to work for Laban so he could Marry Rachel. Instead of this Laban deceived Jacob and after seven years gave Jacob Leah when Jacob found out Laban said he would have to work for seven more years to marry Rachel.
