Abraham and Isaacs situation teaches an example of what devotion and loyalty to religion can look like. Despite facing an internal conflict on whether or not to give up his only son, Abraham puts his trust within his higher power, which in this case is God. Although not said in blatant terms, it can be assumed that Abraham felt some hesitation in deciding to offer up his son’s life.

This gives a hint that Abraham truly trusted the intentions of God and how he potentially could spare Isaac’s life.

The opening of the film captures a quote from Saint Augustine, “Do not despair, one of the thieves was saved. Do not despair, one of the thieves was damned”. Gleeson's character, Father James maintains a gentle and kind approach towards the characters in the film. Throughout the film he tends to the needs of his “flock”.

I think Gatsby follows his real Father. As we find out after Gatsby dies his father wasn’t dead and he always knew that, but he never wanted anyone else to. I also believe that Gatsby is very confident that he will always be rich and has no problem saying he is a son of God, who is powerful and all knowing.

Fitzgerald gained a sense of credibility from making the allusion to the Bible.
