The book of Genesis does specify the reason cain killed abel. God chose Abel's offering and not Cain's. I am actually surprised that it was not mentioned. He talked a lot about the sacrifice offered by Cain and the sacrifice offered by Abel. I am surprised he didn't mention it. In the Bible God felt Abel's sacrifice was more genuine and ignored Cain's. It made Cain angry.ArriettyClock wrote: ↑02 Jun 2020, 07:29 As the Book of Genesis doesn't actually specify a reason for Cain killing Abel, do you think that the motives in this novel were portrayed in the correct way? Should there have been more specified motives in this book, or do you think it would have been best to leave absolutely no motive?

Exactly. The book portrays Cain's jealousy as the reason, just like in the Bible.Alice Ngugi wrote: ↑04 Jun 2020, 05:12 It was purely out of jealousy. Any other idea by the author is only to add flesh to the book and increase the imagination levels. The book is fictional hence in a way justifiable.
