The only influence wielded upon Delilah are the Philistine’s promise of money if she hands Samson over to them. “Seduce him, and see where his great strength lies, and by what means we may overpower him, that we may bind him to humble him. And we will each give you 1,100 pieces of silver” (Judges 16:5, English Standard Version). In a way, Samson might have wielded influence over her as well. Every time that he lied to her, she was at the mercy of him. “Then Delilah said to Samson, “Until now you

While Imitation of Life 's main story involves the fortunes and loves of a central female character, this story intersects with the racially charged trials and tribulations of an African-American woman and her light-skinned daughter. Both films offer the view that a white woman can improve her circumstances with enough guts, ingenuity, and physical attractiveness, but that African Americans, even those light enough to pass for white, are inherently unable to realize the rags-to-riches dream of the

She cut his hair and helped the Philistines capture him. Samson was tortured
Delilah, lover of Samson, is a well-known tale about a woman of greed who tricks her lover into a behavior that grants her money. In the book of Judges, chapters 13-16, the Bible explains this as a love story gone wrong. The Philistine used Samson’s love for a beautiful, Delilah, to trick him into exposing his “true” weakness. Delilah, technically the philistines, wanted to know what Samson’s secret to his strength
Critique 1: ‘The Sapphires’ – Wayne Blair The Sapphires directed by Wayne Blair, was a film set in the Cummeragunja mission settlement on the banks of the Murray river in 1969.

Munny has changed from the vicious murderer he was in the past and now wishes to bring justice to evil men who harmed the innocent prostitute Delilah and his friend Ned. The film is not quite the traditional Western film by any means as Eastwood’s character Will Munny has not always been a moral man. Nevertheless, Will Munny through the use of violence sets out to balance out the battle of good
For example when Samson believed Delilah that she loved him dearly and didn’t care about him not being a Philistine. Samson was very strong and his strength was due to his hair and he was forbidden to have it cut. He trusted Delilah because she “claimed” she loved him dearly. Later he told her about his strength in his hair, so for money, Delilah cut his hair off and let the Philistines take his eyes out and harass Samson in front of all the Philistines. Delilah lied to Samson just to hear what he
