For a general explanation of the biblical type-scene, see Alter, The Art of the Biblical Narrative, pp. 47-62. For a comparative analysis of the annunciation scenes, see Alter, 'How Convention Helps Us Read', pp. 115-30. 3. 8 From a passive and peripheral character in the earlier scenes, the mother-figure grows into an ever more central and active character, while her male counterpart, in most cases her husband, tends to drift into the background. It is tempting to interpret this progression as an expression of an antipatriarchal trend.
Needless to say, Dinah in Genesis 34 and Bathsheba in 2 Samuel 11 are already peripheral characters. By construing the antagonistic relationship of male characters as the fundamental frame of his analysis, Sternberg validates and contributes to the marginalization of the female characters. Though he presents his questions as neutral, objective responses to the informational gaps of the text, Sternberg's questions are often based on androcentric presuppositions. In his discussion of the rape of Dinah, for example, he argues without explaining his own axiological priorities that rape is less heinous a crime than murder.

Characters are presented as both wives and mothers, as both sisters and daughters. Yet, in their capacity as mothers women are usually valorized. There is a growing effort to create a causal link between their procreative ability and their moral status. In their capacity as wives, women are increasingly devalued or ambiguated.
