Above all, Hughes criticism towards God is shown through a vast array of perspectives from the different roles of Crow. Albeit similar, the multitude of perspectives given on God demonstrates to the reader the incomprehensibility of religion due to Crow only existing in one of God’s nightmares which distorts and amalgamates Genesis, arguably one of the most important parts of the bible (religiously insensitive? Should I say Christian bible?). The absurdities formed within this nightmare in a relatively godless society challenges the reader with the idea that God is not omnipotent, disturbingly, he is portrayed in many of the poems as impotent and powerless. Maity claims that “Granting God an unconscious is one of the great ingenuities of Hughes‘s version”, it permits Hughes to create stark contrast of perspectives for the reader; this further accentuates his criticisms towards God, evident in the poems “Lineage”, “A Childish Prank” which is then contrasted by Crow’s abrupt enlightenment in “Crow’s Theology”. The violent and graphic imagery coupled with repetition is recognizable as signature Hughes poetry however in “Lineage” there is something more aggressive, more grotesque, it is the horrifying revelation that creation is fundamentally flawed. “In the beginning there was Scream” states Hughes which unashamedly contradicts with Genesis, which claims God was the first to exist, having “Created the heaven and the earth” (Genesis 1.5). In Hughes’ version, God does not exist until after Scream has “Begat Blood”, who then in turn “Begats eye”, who “Begats fear”, then “Wing”, “Bone”, “Granite”, “Violet”, and so on – only after Mary, do we see the creation of God. This shocking divergence from Genesis exhibits Hughes’ fundamental assertion: God is flawed, erroneous as a symbol of omnipotence. This is further exemplified in “A Childish Prank” when God’s impotence is exemplified by the fact that God faced a “problem... so great, it dragged him asleep”, clearly showing the reader
