Book of Judges/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Half the Man He Used To Be]]: Gave this treatment to a random lion.

* [[Horrible Judge of Character]]: [[Alternate Character Interpretation|One wonders]] if he was one, considering he ended up having ''two'' traitorous wives...

* [[Humiliation Conga]]: When the Philistines captured him, they blinded him, imprisoned him, and put him work grinding grain. They then brought him out to mock him, and have him perform for them. He gets the last laugh, though.

* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Donkey jawbone. Enough said.

* [[MacGuffin]]: His hair. If his head is ever shaved, he loses his strength. This is perhaps a case of divine irony since not getting a haircut is the only Nazirite vow Samson has kept, the other two being not drinking and not touching a dead thing. [[Fridge Brilliance|He lost his strength not because he cut his hair but because he disobeyed God for the last time. He was also drunk when his hair was cut.]]

* [[Messianic Archetype]]: The subversion of the type. His birth is announced by an angel and raised a Nazirite (puritan Hebrew) yet broke its traditions simply because he was the [[Chosen One]], his battles are more like the antics of a super powered college prankster and his motivation to finally beat the Philistines was personal revenge.

* [[One-Man Army]]

* [[Person of Mass Destruction]]: Kinda. He did smash the two pillars of the Philistine temple, killing over 3000.
