<span>Rowlandson alludes to the Bible in many occasions. It might emphasizes her faith, her knowledge of religion and how important it is for her life. Moreover, she uses the Bible to reinforce some descriptions of a dichotomised world; punishment vs retribution, light vs darkness or, even, good vs evil.
