What drew me to this specific cartoon was that there was a clear implication, that snakes are cheaters. Bad people or cheaters are sometimes characterized as snakes. According to the rules the snake is not cheating but, ethically the snake is doing the wrong thing. This brings up the case in the bible with Adam and Eve, the rule was not to eat from the tree of life. Adam and Eve listened to this unwritten rule because they knew it was the right thing to do. Still the snake in both cases breaks the rules and manipulates Eve to eat from the tree of life for his own personal curiousity. Which brings me back to the cartoon, the ref seems confused so that would probably mean that the snake would most likely get away with it’s cheating ways. As for the man in the turbin he seems to be controlling the snake in some way. This made me view him as a Godly figure, meaning is their such thing as free will or are our destinies predetermined? Just like in the bible God is the all knowing being of the universe, shouldn’t he stop the snake before he does something that he will one day regret? A question that can probably never be answered.
