Can someone please help me?? I’ve been thinking about this for MONTHS and the more I try to figure it out the more frustrated I get.
WHAT DOES THE LINE “‘Well hello my hollow Holofernes’/I wink but you don’t the joke,” MEAN???
The issue is not that I don’t know who Holofernes is! He’s this guy!
Biblical. Killed by a hot jewish widow for trying to force her people to worship some guy. Totally get it. But that does not???? Make that line make any more sense?
Is it a threat? Are they going to behead him?
Are they saying they’ve already removed his head and found it empty? Hence *Hollow* Holofernes?
Is it a reference to Dante’s Purgatorio? Are they saying he has too much pride?
WHO IS THE NEBUCHADNEZZAR IN THIS SITUATION?
I just. I have a lot of questions, and the more I think about this single line the less it makes sense.
