Contrasting Concepts
This just occurred to me, just today, literally a few minutes before arriving at my friend's house as I was messing with my hair using the rearview mirror in my car. Sor Juana cuts her hair to show her strong devotion to becoming more educated and learning at the same level as the men in her society. In contrast, Samson continues to grow his hair as a sign of devotion towards his love for God. In both cases, they physically represent their devotion to their craft through representation of their hair. I just thought that that was a rather interesting concept considering how malleable we can make our hair and what it can symbolize to us and to everyone else. What do you think?
