Judas at the Jockey Club (3.) Austin Pabian As an American in the late 1800’s‚ owning a farm was not too uncommon‚ especially if that farm was located in Mexico. At this time‚ though‚ Mexico was in the Porfirian Era (1876-1911). In this certain era‚ Mexico was being encountered by two very different cultures at the same time: the industrial‚ and the traditional. These distinctively separate cultures impacting Mexico made it as what can be described as "backwards" in a sense‚ as Mexico was practically

THE PORTRAYAL OF JUDAS ISCARIOT: If there is one thing that modern literature and films do well it is to expose the villain. In the New Testament‚ Judas is represented as the betrayer of Jesus Christ. He is one of the twelve Apostles‚ the one who sold Jesus Christ out for thirty pieces of silver‚ and identified him with solely a kiss on the cheek. Later‚ crazed with guilt‚ Judas was said to have hung himself (Gospel of Matthew). He is the ultimate symbol of treachery and betrayal. Christianity

off-putting description of Braggioni‚ as well as the way that Laura avoids situations with him‚ staying away from home as late as she can and then unwillingly enduring his presence. This tension between two ways of life is developed throughout "Flowering Judas." Gradually we recognize Laura as a character whose spiritual betrayal is far more profound than the revolutionary leader’s corruption. Braggioni’s name suggests his nature; He "bulges marvelously in his expensive garments‚" his mouth

Judas and Peter‚ possibly two of the most well-known people in the Bible‚ may seem like completely opposite men at first glance. After all‚ Peter is believed to be within Heaven’s gates and Judas is believed to be enduring eternal torture in Hell. People see Judas as a despicable sinner and see Peter as a saint. While their lives came to a very different end‚ it may surprise people to know that Judas and Peter had much in common. To begin with‚ both of these men had very promising futures

Judas Iscariot‚ oftentimes known simply as ‘Judas‚’ didn’t get his last name from his family. The name ‘Iscariot’ was a title given to members of an extremely radical Jewish sect‚ coming from the Latin word for ‘murder‚’ a fitting name for the one who betrayed Jesus (5). The writers of the Bible took particular care to set Judas apart. The Bible notes that Judas was the only one of Jesus’ 12 closest disciples who wasn’t from Galilee (10). In fact‚ Judas isn’t mentioned very

three reasons of why Judas betrayed Jesus. There could have been many reasons for why Judas betrayed Jesus‚ but I think in the text and from what we know about Judas‚ the reasons behind his betrayal were pretty clear.
