John and Salome

An example of the dialogue he refers to follows:

SALOME. I am amorous of thy body, Iokanaan! Thy body is white, like the lilies of a field that the mower hath never mowed . . . There is nothing in the world so white as thy body. Suffer me to touch thy body . . . Thy body is hideous. It is like the body of a leper. It is like a plastered wall, where vipers have crawled . . . It is of thy hair that I am enamored, Iokanaan . . ."

Love and hate, intertwined and playing against each other in irrational passion and present in Salome's dialogues are reflected in the balanced, contrasting yet complementary images of John and Salome. It is also worth noting that the image is indicative of the treatment of femininity in the play, as Salome is here not only on a par with the male, but seems to be in command and with her "masculine desiring gaze effectively feminizes Iokanaan" (Latimer 27).
