It seems nobody is particularly good in this troubling story.

Genesis 34 tells the difficult story of Dinah, which certainly contains adult themes and unpleasant behaviour. In fact, it is hard to see anyone who acts in the right. After some comparatively strong women of agency (Hagar and Rebecca), Dinah has her voice almost entirely suppressed by the narrator - and we are left very curious about her opinions and perspectives on the events that unfold.
