It is shown that there are four principal voices in<br />Lamentations: the lamenter, Zion, the Man and the community. An essential<br />element in the polyphony in Lamentations is the personifi cation<br />of the principal voices. Here it is the persona of Zion who particularly<br />asserts herself in her role as personifi ed city. She confronts God, who<br />remains silent in the discourse. The absence of God which is one of the<br />main themes in Lamentations, becomes more obvious in the dynamic<br />interaction between the lamenter and Zion. The dialogical discourse<br />in Lamentations communicates a many-faceted portrait of God which<br />results in a corresponding many-sided theology.</p> ER -
