Cranston examines Jonah in the context of its exhibition of pagan myth and fairytale. Cranston argues that Jonah represents the primal nature of man in his pan-like appearance and character, concluding that "Jonah is the embodiment of the typical qualities of the outcast, an outlaw in exile, pursuing his life of non-conformity" by distorting mythologies and fairytales and bending Christian ideology to personify anti-Christian ideals.
