The Multifaceted Judas-An Analysis of the Image of Judas in Judas Iscariot
Abstract
Judas Iscariot uses the biblical story of Jesus's preaching and passion as a framework, focusing on shaping the complex image of Judas-a figure who desires to connect with goodness yet commits unrighteous acts. Through a close reading of the text of Judas Iscariot, this paper attempts to present a clear and rich portrayal of the image of Judas in the novel, revealing the author's personal exploration and reflection on the spiritual dilemmas caused by the misfortunes of Russia in the early 20th century, as well as those inherent to humanity itself.
