This dissertation examines three biblical "texts of terror" and argues that all three narratives embody the realized conceptual metaphor of woman is food. Each text depicts violence toward a woman as perpetrated by a man, interwoven with culinary language that points toward its metaphorical implications. In Judges 19 (the tale of the Levite's dismembered "concubine"), a woman is objectified, dismembered, and "consumed" to fuel a male narrative of revenge - all stages that also appear in modern comic book narratives of "women in refrigerators." Moving to 2 Samuel 13, the rape of Tamar, the text once again portrays its female victim as consumable food through the lustful lens of her rapist, who metaphorically parallels Tamar to the bread she cooks. Finally, in the death of Jezebel (2 Kings 9), the wicked queen receives "just desserts" for her illicit murder of Naboth, and her destruction, metaphorically depicting her as a grapevine to be harvested, restores a balance in which women are consumed rather than consumers. Using the tools of cognitive linguistics, feminist criticism, and classic philological biblical analysis, this dissertation elucidates some of the most troubling biblical passages for women - neither by redeeming them nor by condemning them, but by showing how they are intrinsically shaped by a gendered metaphor that remains powerful even today.
