I'd argue that Jigsaw is an amoral trickster.
-You see, things aren't sequential. Good doesn't lead to good, nor bad to bad. People who steal, don't get caught, live the good life. Others lie, cheat and get elected. Some people stop to help a stranded motorist and get taken out by a speeding semi. There's no accounting for it. How you play the cards you're dealt--that's all that matters. -

Anansi's character is directly incorporated into Jamaican folklore with similar stories. It makes me wish I could have known all the other tales, traditions & beliefs that my ancestors held before they were deemed demonic and savage, only to be erased and replaced by British/ European norms.

The Anansi stories originated from the Asante/Ashanti tribe of the Ghanaians. Anansi means spider in Twi. His stories are normally told to explain why things are what they are like why a turtle has cracks/grooves and stuff like that.

In Namibia some of the people still believe in tricksters or as they are called here, the tokolosie (toh-koh-loh-see) and they keep their beds on bricks so it can't reach them while they sleep since the tokolosie's are short.

This myth could have served as a rite of passage or a preparation for the real state of the human condition I. e the consequence of injustice or even an attempt to enhance critical thinking.

We all have tried our hand in bamboozling someone into doing our work. America in a nut shell. But who the true trickster in America's story.

Atlas does not hold up the Earth, just the sky. The whole holding the world thing is a misconception.
I'd say it's a myth, but.
