The present analysis intends to show that the tensions and the distinct accentuations find in the text their intrinsic reason. They are intended to focus the attention increasingly on the main figure of the narrative who is not the sinful woman but Simon and, in the last analysis, the reader inasmuch as he too is a pharisee.
