    You may want to look into the biblical allusions throughout the novel. For example, the names of many of the characters have Biblical equivalents, you can look into those Biblical characters and try and identify either parallels or connections. Also there is a lot of biblical imagery throughout the novel, such as references to snakes, biblical eventsand such. (When I say Biblical I am speaking of Judeo-Christian Biblical references although mostly Christian, both Old and New Testament)
