Explain What Is Wrong With The Younger Son's Request For His Inheritance In Luke 15

3A. What's wrong with the younger son's request for his inheritance in Luke 15:12? Of what does his inheritance consist? Why/how does the younger son leave with his inheritance? Offer at least six specific examples with citations illustrating the agricultural background and the perspective of the in-text audience of this parable. Critically discuss the cultural values behind the son's request and the in-text audience's perception of that request, as illustrated by Jesus' "Parable of the Prodigal Son."

In Luke 15 Jesus gives 3 parables about lost things and how they are “found/returned”. In Luke 15 Verses 11-31 the parable of the prodigal son is told. The story tells of a son on a farm with his father and one brother who is tired of
They both discuss the Greco-Roman world during these early parts of history and have similar backgrounds and ironic scenes within them. The Odyssey is based off the time period following the Trojan War from the story of the Iliad, where the play of Antigone is based off the time period following the battle of Thebes from the play of Oedipus. These two stories are similar in respect to they are told around the story of a king following a great war/battle that has forced them to make great decisions in order to insure the safety of their kingdom.

Odysseus goes to the swineherd's house and meets his son Telemachus there which his son does not recognize him yet as the reader dramatic irony is taking place as the audience knows the true identity of Odysseus “Stay where you are, stranger. I know we can find another seat somewhere, here on our farm, and here’s the man to fetch it” (Volume A, 449). A second example of dramatic irony shown in the Odyssey is the scene of Odysseus still seemingly beggar talking to his wife Penelope about seeing Odysseus as she starts questioning Odysseus about himself “Stranger, let me start our questioning myself.. Who are you? Where are you from? your city? your parents?” (Volume A, 488). The cultural values of the Greco-Roman world are shown in the Odyssey as the gods show how they affect the lives of the mortals within the story as Odysseus travels home and tests with the people within his own kingdom. The gods show themselves demanding respect yet for that respect they allow marvelous things to happen to the people they favor, Odysseus in this case in the ability he is allowed, transforming into a
