Jack's death in The Blood Line is submission. To what? Not to the will of God, obviously, but RTD comes dangerously close here to writing something actually mystical. The Blessing is linked to human mortality and maybe one could say that on some level symbolises a balance between life and death. Nature, the universe with all its mysteries, the polar opposite of the small life Oswald Danes created for himself, everything big and incomprehensible and uncontrollable? The principle of mortality? All of that, or maybe they are the same thing?
