The Green Mile: Christian allegory?
PostPosted: Sun Feb 15, 2009 1:21 pm
I was wondering if anyone on this site has read The Green Mile by Stephen King. I think it's actually a Christian allegory. The character of John Coffey seems to be a "Christ figure", meaning he has qualities similar to those of Jesus. In his case, they are:
1. healing
2. Both John Coffey and Jesus Christ have the same initials.
3. Both are innocent beings unjustly condemned.
Am I reading too much into this?
