- Title
"They Put Themselves in Danger, Girls Like That": Ezekiel 16 and Promising Young Woman.
- Authors
Graybill, Rhiannon
- Abstract
This article pairs the worst of the biblical marriage metaphor texts, Ezekiel 16, with a feminist film about sexual violence, Promising Young Woman (2020). Strikingly, the God of Ezekiel 16 acts in ways that closely resemble the would-be rapists and "good guys" of Promising Young Woman. Furthermore, the portraits of female revenge in Promising Young Woman and Ana Lily Amirpour's A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (2014) suggest new ways of reading the seemingly monolithic gender violence of text.
