To understand the story to it's full potential one must understand the background of which this fictional story is based, the fall to which Morpheus the giant refers to is a biblical event that is described in Genesis 3. This chapter in the bible describes the fall of man which is what the dragon and Morpheus find so despicable and the basis of hatred towards man kind. Genesis 6: 1-4 Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them,that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. And the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not strivewith man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” 4 There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterwards, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.
