Beschreibungen/Notizen
In later Western literature and culture, the character of Job comes to represent an iconic image of a patient sufferer, perhaps derived from his depiction in the prologue of the book. The poetic dialogue, however, portrays a more indignant and impetuous victim. Job does not silently or joyfully hope for redemption; he contests, demands, and struggles with his demonic God. One wonders how the pious man of the prologue comes to interpret his circumstances with such vitriolic vehemence in the poetic dialogue. Many scholars have attributed the difference in characterization to different authors or sources. Yet a closer reading of the prologue actually provides an insight into the feature of Job's character that may have led to his theological crisis in the dialogue. Here, Joo provides an outline of the way in which Job constructs his reality.
