Jezebel was, in two words, a bitch. She was a rotten queen, married to King
Ahab of Israel. At one point, Ahab wanted an orchid. He tried to buy it
legally, but the man didn't want to sell. So at Jezebel's encouragement, he
killed the man for his orchid. I went on the Internet to find information
on her, and at http://education.yahoo.com/search/be?lb=t&p=url%3Aj/jezebel,
I found, "In the Old Testament, the wife of King Ahab of Israel. The
daughter of the priest-king Ethbaal of Tyre and Sidon, she persuaded Ahab
to introduce the worship of the Tyrian god Baal-Melkart into Israel, thus
interfering with the exclusive worship of Yahweh. The Book of 1 Kings tells
how she was opposed by Elijah. After Ahab's death Jezebel's son Jehoram
became king of Israel, but Elisha encouraged a general, Jehu, to revolt.
Jehoram was killed, and Jezebel was thrown from a window to her death. Dogs
consumed most of her body, fulfilling a prophecy by Elijah. In history and
literature she became the archetype of the wicked woman." Lovely, eh? So
when Kikyou is calling Kagome a Jezebel, she's basically saying that she
was evil. Ironic that the soulless one of the two is saying that. But, then
again, Kagome probably thinks it, and is just too nice to say anything... I
just thought I'd clarify what I was doing in this fic with this.
