The relationship between Herodias, Salome and Herod sort of woke me out of bed this morning.
Herodias, who is losing her power over Herod to Salome, manipulates her daughter with every tool available. Herod blatantly flirts with Salome, offering half of his kingdom to her (which is technically still her mother's)- he is stripping Herodias of her power in public.
Salome's violent death at the end...is that what Herodias really wanted all along? Was John the Baptist just a bonus?
This thought made me bound out of bed this morning. Completely unfounded, just stream of consciousness. Wanted to bounce it off you.
