Part 2- Biblical Allusions: The Denial

The Denial   Biblical Allusion   Source: Matthew 26

• Jesus said his disciples would abandon him
• Peter said no three times
• Despite saying he doesn't know Jesus, Jesus forgives Peter

Commentary: This allusion has to deal with keeping faith and hope that things will be okay in the end. This allusion connects with the movie The Green Mile. In the movie, John Coffey, never gives up hope and faith despite being sent to walk the green mile (known as a walk to death) inside the prison. He continues to bring joy and happiness despite the grim outlooks on his life.
