Bibilical Allegory within Dragon Prince
I've seen a few in this show, mainly concerning Aaravos.
Let's go back to the beginning of the chronological stories in both the bible and the show.
The story of Adam and Eve:
God created the the universe in six days and rested on the seventh. Of course, to God a day could be a different length of time. On the planet of earth, he created a garden called Eden, where every living creature lived in harmony and splendor. To govern this garden much like God governs the universe, he created Man from dust and named him Adam. Adam grew lonely seeing that every creature in the garden had it's mate and he ws alone. Hearing Adam's internal prayers of partnership, God took a part of Adam and made him a wife. Adam and Eve were able to enjoy the luxeries of the garden on the condition that they do not break the one rule, to take in the knowledge of good and evil for humanity. The serpent was a petty animal, and disliked the favoritism God gave the humans, and so tricked Eve into taking in the knowledge. This caused God to be furious for the defiance displayed, and so Eve was punished, her and all her descendants will die, and it will feel like death if she ever brings life into the world. She was also cast from the garden.
Some other details the story holds is that Adam immedetely sinned after Eve was found Guilty, and the Serpent suffered due to his involvement as well.
Some stories say that Adam had a first wife who left him, or that Satan or this first wife became the snake. Of course the version I heard fits more with this allegory.
The allegory is a little switched up, instead of Husband and Wife, it's Father and Daughter.
The Story of Elarion (much like Eden):
The stars (the startouch) created the world, and within this world grew a great city named Elarion. In this city Elves, humans, and animals all lived in harmony. Of course, humans were created weaker than elves and animals. A startouch came to live amongst these creatures around Elarion, and in his loneliness made a daughter named Leola. There was a wyrm (latin for serpent), a dragon who despised humanity, thinking them nothing but pests. Amongst the Cosmic order there was one rule that could not be broken, human cannot take in the knowledge of magic. Leola in her innocence, chose to help humanity, not knowing of the rule or it's consequences of breaking it. The Wyrm told the stars of Leola's sin, and they thus decided she is to pay the ultimate price for breaking the rule, she was to be put to death. Elarion fell after her destruction.
The Adam figure (Aaravos), chose to sin after his daughter's mistake, corrupting Humanity further; and after the wyrm's involvement, he suffered greatly. This, much like biting the apple, doomed humanity.
The difference here is that in this story Adam turned into Satan. Let's not forget the scene where Aaravos offered Callum the apple which would have corrupted or killed him, thus signifying him as the serpent/Satan.
Now for the next part of the allegory: Callum as the messiah.
Going back to the apple scene, there is a part in the bible where Christ is tempted during this 40 day fast by Satan three times. Aaravos does tempt Callum in this rocky plain, but he is saved. Also seeing as there were three tests of Christ, Callum ended up doing Dark magic three times before it stuck with him. Unlike Christ who resisted Satan fully, Callum doesn't let this stain upon his soul corrupt him, and it is never enough to fully do so. Satan doesn't win, Aaravos doesn't get Callum's soul.
Then there is the final confrontation: Jesus ends up dying to save everyone from the cruel fate of God. Saving them all from Hell.
Callum decides that he will sacrifice himself in order to save everyone from the satanic figure, and yet Callum like Christ doesn't end up fully perishing.
It also helps that Callum is becoming an archmage, which is something akin to the works of God, in this case it's nature's magic being channeled through him.
Those are the two Allegories I found, the tradegy of the beginning, and our saviour in the end.
