Lock by Lock

by Katy Mulvaney

Samson’s foreign wife Delilah went down in the Bible as the evil temptress who destroyed a warrior prophet, as a symbol of the danger of foreign gods, impure worship, and trusting the enemy. As proof positive that women will separate righteous men from God. Here Delilah tells her side of the story, how she married, for the sake of her country, the most fearful warrior of the opposing side. How even as she fell for him, she chose her duty to her country. How she tried to get him killed three times before succeeding in learning his secret, and how she survived as his trusted wife despite those attempts. Most of all, she shares what it cost her to cut away the locks that bound them together, the locks that gave Samson his strength, and the locks that came to stand for everything they had built between them. A novella written in blank verse, the poetic language of Shakespeare.
