| Summary: | This study applies one phase of the structural semiotic analysis refined by J. Calloud from the work of A. Greimas to the story of Judah and Tamar in Genesis 38. The work focuses on the analytical steps making up the morphological analysis of the text, addressing the patterns, or structures, underlying the level of narrative plot. Morphological analysis is concerned with finding the tension between the positive and negative narrative programs embodiedin the text, thereby revealing cultural values embedded in the narrative.Aspects of the biblical view of coercion are thus revealed by this analysis. |
