The Hostile Brothers

i've been digging underneath the story sporadically since then to try to find out whether their themes are being developed and i've got some things that i think are really interesting to talk about. right so the last time i was here many of you were as well we got halfway through the story of jacob and i'll re-update his biography a little bit so that we can place ourselves in the proper context before we go on. So even before her twins were born they were in a state of competition and that's a recapitulation of the motif of the hostile brothers right it's a very very very common mythological motif.
