Workspace on Trible

Methods

 * p.66-67 literary about desertion, how the sentences are formed, man and woman in opposition and dissonance,
 * polarities in content of parallel sentences that have the same structure
 * polarity in grammar, man as subject, woman as object (HG)
 * switch -- highlights her active -- only time (what page?)
 * p.77, first time female as subject of a verb, she collapses
 * see also p.77, contrast in day/night content of clauses/sentences --> different conclusion, method (SL)
 * word choice -- from plural to singular -- how the woman is not safe (TW)
 * 67 different literary analysis -- vocabulatory (GR)
 * intra-lingual analysis of verbs -- choice of verbs demonstrate intensity (3rd para, 80) (DM)
 * inter-lingual (?) -- comparisons of Greek and Hebrew versions, eg p.79 3rd paragraph -- concubine died, Heb ambiguous (DM
 * Hebrew nuance due to the gendered character of the grammatical forms (DM SL)
