More Classical than Christian
Ooh, all very good points, Anonymous.
I agree. I don't think he was sad. I think he was euphoric at his ability to kill Christopher. It's something that he had obviously been thinking about for a while, and having done it, he was impressed and amazed with his strong will.
I didn't see the connection with a Christian God. For me, it was much more classical in its allusions. I don't know, maybe that's just where my mind goes, but for me, it seemed much more Saturnine with the the god eating his children in an attempt to control the future. These are people who have behaved with unbelievable hubris worthy of Mount Olympus or the Bush White House. It will be interesting to see how Chase deals with them. And what that says about us all.
