Om Nick Cave

Snubblad över en tråd om Nick Caves "Red Right Hand" och var bara tvungen att lägga in min syn på saken:

As said a few times before the "Red right hand" is a reference the darker side of God ("A shadow is cast wherever he stands") or, if it pleases you, to Creation in which evil exists while humanity waits for Heaven on Earth. Thus the red right hand is a part of God, since he is allmighty in a flawed world.

The reference "Gods red right hand" in Paradise Lost is only one in a long row of similar images (sorry if my english lacks some finesse here) still Cave makes other references to this book (see Song of Joy for an example). You could say it refers to the punishing God of the Old Testament (contrary to the loving God Jesus talked about).

Still, what Nick Cave, though both a christian and a scholar (well, I would say he is), means I guess only he knows. I bet there are university papers written on this subject.
