[edit] greed?
the greed statue is actually 'the jew with his money bags' because of stereotypical jews as rich and wealthy. should this not be mentioned? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.216.180.15 (talk) 17:47, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
- Probably not, for any number of reasons. Moonraker12 (talk) 14:58, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
- It probably should be, in reference to the historical period in which the animated figures were added. If so, it should be noted that the figure is interpreted today as an allegorical symbol of usury or greed. Likewise the Turk is sometimes re-interpreted today as representing sloth or luxury. I do not have any sources to cite on this, however, and will wait to add this until I can refer to a credible source.72.213.144.148 (talk) 23:14, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
