The Tyranny of Insatiable Need
The story portrays an oppressive economic system where the unyielding demands of a tyrant lead to the relentless exploitation of labor. Despite the hard work of the Hebrews, their efforts are never sufficient to satisfy Pharaoh's insatiable appetite for excess, driving them to build vast store cities for surplus goods. This system reflects the broader plight of slavery woven into the fabric of the empire, where cheap labor fuels the extravagant lifestyles of the elite. Slaves, devoid of rest or personal value, become mere commodities within a brutal economy, trapped in a cycle of relentless labor until death.
