3. In a few words discuss the presence and purpose of religious imagery in the excerpt.
The religious imagery is explained as a retelling of the Christ Crucifixion episode. Solomon is portrayed as a “savior” (Jesus) and he is suffering from the tortures of the shock therapy (the crucifixion) and he is doing a sacrifice as Jesus did. He is against the fascist national government of the United States. This government could be represented by Golgotha, the hill where Jesus was crucified by the Romans. Finally the resurrection will be achieved by Solomon when he will splits the Heavens of Long Island; that is when he will be released from hospital.
