Key Notes
The Rachel and Jacob story is presented as short but full of economy and irony, with a universe of family emotion inside the compressed plot.
Jiang infers Leah's resentment from the Rachel and Jacob story, imagining seven years of family pressure after Laban promises Rachel to Jacob.
Laban's trick is interpreted as a comic family strategy to avoid being stuck with Leah after Rachel and Jacob run off together.
