The Cradle on the Scales

<p>Just how implicated are you in the lives of the characters we lionize or condemn in the society we live in? The Cradle on the Scales without justifying crime takes a compassionate empathetic look at Unimke a product of rape and domestic abuse in a society where humanity has been debased by ungodly materialism and domestic slavery; but who becomes a Frankenstein with near-tragic dimensions in the very home and society that fashioned him.</p> <p>The novel as it were seems to stress the primacy of a warm home above every structure erected by society as the first and most important crucible of responsible citizenship. Otherwise all marble brick and mortar mansions religion law or any other structure of coercion or persuasion become mere sterile agents of socialization that only breed repressed bigoted men and women whose actions ultimately find condemnation within the very human structures that produced them. The Cradle on the Scales is as it were a swan song for the restoration of the humaneness love and true spirituality in humanity beyond the commodification of life and religion in a world set adrift by Mammon.</p>
