CATEGORY: MOVIES [Hidden plot related]
There is a passage in the biblical book of Jeremiah, which ties together the recent posts on the 'love triangle' consisting of Will, Molly, and Dr. Bloom. The passage falls under the heading, "Unfaithful Israel":
1. "If a man divorces his wife and she goes from him and becomes another man's wife, will he return to her? Would not that land be greatly polluted? You have played the whore with many lovers; and would you return to me? declares the LORD. [Jeremiah 3:1, English Standard Version]
Here, God is speaking to Israel, who has committed whoredom by committing idolatry. If we take Dr. Bloom to be the "man" and Will to be the 'other man' ("another man's..."), and "you" to be Molly, then this verse is in line with her having previously been married to Bloom, an idea which was suggested in part 39 of the analysis. Ultimately, Bloom does not return to Molly, as signified by the fact that he doesn't show up to protect her at her home on the night Will heads there (after hearing the translated book code). As we've said, the doctor suspects he may be being set up by Lecktor, to be killed should he go to Captiva; the point here is that he betrays Molly, and once he does this, the implication is that he will never return to her.
