1* EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory: Oddly, the character of Jim Conklin, widely viewed by critics as a Christ figure (Both Jesus and Jim have the initials [=JC=]) isn't one, at least according to WordOfGod.
2** Then there's the infamous metaphor of the sun being "pasted like a wafer in the sky", quite possibly the most famous line in the book. The amount of people who believe this ''must'' refer to a communion wafer is ''enormous''.
3* FauxSymbolism: The cheerful dude that helped Henry find his regiment after Henry ran away? Numerous interpretations agreed that he's just a cheerful dude.
