Summary
Tonight, too, is a repeat. Jacob sometimes wonders if God has already smited him and this is his personal circle of hell—one where he is made to commit sin upon sin, made to succumb to lust and homosexuality until he finds the strength to walk away.
Thus, he whispers not a prayer for protection, but a plea for forgiveness—for the scriptures have ridden the tides of history and translations and adaptations and yet there are only two absolutes: that Eve will always take a bite of the forbidden fruit, and that Jacob Palmer will always fall into Sebastian Wilder's bed.
Or: Jacob Palmer has an extreme case of religious guilt. This does not stop him from sleeping with Sebastian Wilder.
