Most stories‚ Judas thought‚ began with "It was a dark and stormy night." This thought crossed his mind as he stood in the hot sun‚ feeling the sun beat down on his head.

Judas and Peter‚ possibly two of the most well-known people in the Bible‚ may seem like completely opposite men at first glance. After all‚ Peter is believed to be within Heaven’s gates and Judas is believed to be enduring eternal torture in Hell. People see Judas as a despicable sinner and see Peter as a saint. While their lives came to a very different end‚ it may surprise people to know that Judas and Peter had much in common. To begin with‚ both of these men had very promising futures

This tension between two ways of life is developed throughout "Flowering Judas." Gradually we recognize Laura as a character whose spiritual betrayal is far more profound than the revolutionary leader’s corruption. Braggioni’s name suggests his nature; He "bulges marvelously in his expensive garments‚" his mouth
