Pulp Fiction and religon

A strong theme throughout the instances with Jules and Vincent is the acknowledgement of God and his presence. In one of the most intense scenes in the movie, Jules and Vincent go to an apartment to retrieve a briefcase for Marcellus.

More importantly, Marcellus focuses on what not to do.

At the same time, when Jules and Vincent leave the apartment they take Marvin with them.

Shortly after Vincent is gunned down by Butch. The briefcase emits a glow as a soul would if it were materialized.

Later we see that at the end of this scene, a person that was hiding in the bathroom comes out firing a “hand cannon” at Jules and Vincent. Only a split second after Marvin says, “Man, I don’t even have an opinion,” Marvin is shot in the face. They look at the wall behind them and there are bullet-holes behind where they are standing. Jules and Vincent are debating over what had just happened (the divine intervention). At this point Jules has quit and is assumed to be alive and walking the earth. In the Bible, when the devil takes a soul, he takes it from the back of a person’s head. Jules acknowledges it and is spared and Vincent suffers a violent death because he continued in his evil ways.
