#twbb script 2005

[elisundayapologist]

The Eli and Mary relationship. There is a lot to be said about brother/brother violence and Cain and Abel conflict in the movie, basically the whole movie revolves around fratricidal violence, Eli and Paul, Daniel and “Henry”, Daniel and Eli (brothers by marriage.)

But the brother/sister conflict between Eli and Mary is interesting too. If we consider canon the script and book ages of Eli and Paul, Eli was the younger son “favored” by God over his older brother like in the Biblical narrative of Jacob and Esau. He guarded his position jealously. But Eli in the movie canon fears that Mary, the youngest sister will be chosen instead, if not by God, by capitalism, represented by Daniel while he is forsaken.

So he tries to cling to his role as older brother who is meant to control her and set her on the right path, he feels that he cannot hate her in the way he does Paul, he resorts to paternalism and the idea that isolating her would be for her own good and it might be even justified why he would have concerns about her interacting with the Plainviews but when he is conditioning her to call Daniel a devil in the script it’s clearly also because he is resentful.
