9. During the discussion of the story of Cain and Abel the suggestion Lee makes when he says "The greatest terror a child can have is that he is not loved...and with crime guilt." applies to Adam because he felt as if he was rejected by Cathy and that gave him remorse against his sons because they were part of her though she really didn't care for them. In his heart Adam felt the guilt because he was condemning the pure souls of his sons who were also part of him.Therefore the vengeance he wanted to imply would end up hurting him as well which wouldn't change his pain.
10. Samuel Hamilton is the Moses figure of part two. He is in a way Adam's guidance. Samuel's leadership is seen everywhere, for example when he helps Adam look for a place to buy, also when Cathy leaves him and he tells him to imagine full happiness and eventually happiness will be real. In addition Samuel's guidance and leadership is seen when he gets mad at Adam for repressing his sons do to what Cathy did and helps him realize that things will get better over time, then he takes the naming of the children personal and helps Adam choose biblical names for the babies.
