‘Sons of Anarchy’ Season 7 Finale: Jax Teller As Jesus In SAMCRO’s Final Ride
Known for his role as Jax Teller in FX biker drama series "Sons of Anarchy," Charlie Hunnam ended his iconic role with a bang and an emotional ending. The SAMCRO president concluded his chaotic saga by intentionally driving his bike into a truck as he chose to end his fate after wiping out the bad guys in Charming and killing his own mother.
Loosely based on Shakespeare's "Hamlet," the show did not end like the famous play as Jax did not die like Hamlet but he unselfishly offered himself so others could peacefully live, just like what Jesus Christ did. Based on a report, "Sons of Anarchy" Season 7, episode 13 features numerous Jesus references.
"The survivors only get their happy ending because Jax died to make everything cleaner not just for his sons, but for his apostles," according to Vanity Fair." Jax made heaven on earth for those he loved and died for the sins of those who came before him."
Another resemblance of Jax to Jesus on "Papa's Goods" is when the SAMCRO president made the final pose, which is a clear JC allusion. Jax's last conversation was with his father, John Teller. A final message from the son to his father when he said, "I know who you are know. I know what you did. I love you, Dad."
The final appearance of "Sons of Anarchy" homeless woman also adds to the JC reference when the camera zoomed in on her snack which is wine and bread. He snack reportedly represents the Eucharist which means that someone like Jesus is looking after Jax and Gemma for the entire seven seasons.
The homeless woman usually appears when the mother and son is in trouble, like the time when she appeared on Season 4 before Tara was kidnapped by SAMCRO's rival. Or in Season 2 when she appeared twice with Gemma after she was raped and again in the doctor's office as she seeks professional advice after her horrible experience.
Meanwhile, executive producer Paris Barclay explained that the mysterious woman is nothing but a mystery and fans can make their own theory about her. She could be an angel of death, a Grim Reaper, or Jesus but her presence is crafted to "create certain feeling," and by the way fans are curious about her and make speculations about her origin means that Kurt Sutter made a brilliant job as the show's creator.
