Description / Abstract
Lot plays a significant role as a supporting character in his relationship with Abraham, specifically in the narrative of Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 18–19). The researcher employed narrative criticism, focusing on stories in Biblical literature through the stylistic and aesthetic literary structure the author designed, and approaching these stories with insights drawn from the secular field of modern literary criticism. This methodology aims at determining the effect that the narrative texts are expected to have on their reader and thereby reconstructing the meaning. The study justified the significance of Lot’s role as supporting character in his relationship with Abraham in the narrative of Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 18–19) as follows: Lot’s autonomous and active actions as a principal character, as a result, bore testimony for (1) the efficacy of Abraham’s intercession with the LORD (18:23–32), (2) the fact that Abraham had already commanded Lot “to keep the way of the LORD by doing righteousness and justice” (18:19), and (3) a partial of fulfillment of God’s promise with Abraham (18:19 [cf. 12:3], “all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him”). The author, through such dramatic irony, represented the significance of Lot’s role as a supporting character. This study includes recommendations for future related studies from narrative criticism as follows: (1) Sarah’s role as a supporting character, (2) patriarchal supporting characters’ role, (3) Pentateuchal supporting characters’ role, and (4) the role of each supporting character in the Old Testament in the narrative.
