1. The story is simple and the rhythm is slow.

2. The confinement island model, anti-religious, dystopian, imprisoning witches, and kidnapping the rich second generation, to solve the most basic problem of the community under the belief that profit-making is the goal-how to maintain the confinement island model without contact with the outside world.

3. The story of being burnt when going to China for preaching is similar to a short story by Borges. The male protagonist gave up his faith because God did not appear, which is a victory of reason and a failure of faith.

4. The law will not be tampered with by individuals arbitrarily seizing power.

Apostle quotes

  • Prophet Malcolm: [fervently to his congregation] Where is the land which has no call for wars? Hmm? Arms? Money? Nor taxes? Well, that land is here. No tax-gatherer's bill shall ever threaten our church door! We, I tell thee, we... we are free men.

  • Thomas Richardson: The promise of the Divine is but an illusion. Nothing in this world is pure... except for Jennifer, my sister.
