Quote #4
SAMSON: God, when he gave me strength, to shew withal how slight the gift was, hung it in my Hair" (58-60)
Does the explanation for the hair-strength connection make sense to you? And could Samson have buffed it up a little with some of this stuff?
Quote #5
CHORUS: Can this be he, that heroic, that renown'd, irresistible Samson? whom unarm'd no strength of man, or fiercest wild beast could withstand; who tore the lion, as the lion tears the kid...? (124-128)
Wow, maybe Samson really was like a superhero. The Chorus makes him sound not only amazingly strong, but famous too.
