<WRONG PLACE TO PUT THIS...?^

"More than this however, This story is also a story of his lover Regina, where he imposes his dismissal of his bride to be, Regina, in order to draw close to God, with the story of Abraham giving Isaac up for a human sacrifice, and he mistakingly misses the connection that we do not come close to God by dismissing our "Regina's" but by drawing near to them do we draw near to God."

MOVED THIS HERE; IT'S OBVIOUSLY BY SOMEONE WHO HAS A GOOD HANDLE ON THE SUBJECT MATTER, BUT IS NOT A NATIVE-ENGLISH SPEAKER (AND NOT THAT I'M THE GREATEST, BUT SOMEONE WHO'S A WIKIPEDIA NEWBIE)...NEEDS "TRANSATION"? REFERENCES? PERHAPS IT'S AN ORIGINAL OBSERVATION (WHICH I VALUE, THAT'S WHY I DIDN'T DELETE IT...I GUESS I'M KIND OF A REBEL!)

PERHAPS?: This story is also an allegory for his relationship with Regine Olsen, where he sacrifices his bride to be, Regine, in order to draw closer to God, with the story of Abraham giving Isaac up for a human sacrifice as a model; he mistakingly misses the connection that we do not come closer to God by dismissing our 'Regines', but by drawing near to them do we draw nearer to God.

(In other words, he fell prey to the Idealistic Theism/Nihilism nexus.What a pity that the progenitor of {Existentialism and} Absurdism hoped for 'pie-in-the-sky' instead of living with authenticity, revolt, freedom and passion.)
