It has long been noted that the book of Lamentations shares, at least in part, a theological outlook with the prophetic literature that the destruction of Jerusalem was the result of Yahweh's decisive action against the sins of the nation. Too often, however, this relationship has simply been presupposed, or assumed to be a relationship of shared perspective. To date, there has been no systematic exploration of how it is that Lamentations accepts and/or modifies the theological outlook of the prophetic literature. In addition, when the theology of the prophets has been discussed in relation to Lamentations, there has been a tendency to group all the prophetic books together as if they existed as a homogeneous whole, and shared amongst themselves a singular outlook. This tendency to simplify the theological complexity of the prophetic literature coincides with a similar tendency to reduce the theology of Lamentations to simple, monotheistic assertions. Drawing on the literary insights of Mikhail Bakhtin, this study aims to explore in detail the nature of the relationship between Lamentations and the pre-exilic/exilic prophetic literature. Drawing on the notions of dialogism, polyphony and double-voicing, the study argues that Lamentations enters into a dialogic relationship with prophetic literature, a relationship that both affirms and subverts that literature. Central to the acknowledgement of the dialogic interaction between Lamentations and the prophetic literature is the recognition of Lamentations as a multivalent, polyphonic text in which unmerged viewpoints exist in a tension-filled relationship.

A prime character, Frederick von Popenov spent the first ten years of his life living with his family on a small farm in the country. Life suddenly changed when the nations political party in control nationalizes industry and sets up the police state and the network city. Nobody was allowed to own property or valuables. Many lower class people were sent to work in the common factories and on the common farms. The class workers and peasants sent to live and work at the City of Sharon found life difficult. Caught in the chaos and desperation of the common movement they miraculously escape the gulag or prison. A series of events involve a people from another side whose presence and assistance culminates in the prisoners escape into the hills around the devastated city. Unknown to the public, due to the type of people sent to live there, the City of Sharon had been set up as a designated bombing target by the World Board of Directors. While the prisoners make their escape, the city is obliterated by a nuclear bomb. Those who remained there were killed. Those who lived in other network cities became suspicious of their invisible government due to the total devastation of the city. All the people begin to look for a way out of party domination.
