Christianity, on the other hand, fits the opposite pattern:
"protagonist is screwed, wins anyway."
************* I think it depends on when you call the game,
George. If the buzzer goes off when you quit breathing, then
dying on a cross after being betrayed by those nearest you is
looking pretty noir. And don't forget Original Sin. That's a
good noir concept. Nietzsche's slave morality is another
parallel.
Somebody mentioned Christian noirs. It might be outside the
legal time frame for some folk's noir, but what about
Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment? Win or lose at the end,
that is some wicked-assed Christian noir.
See you boys and girls later. Tomorrow morning and I'm off to
Cancun for a dozen days.
