I still think it’s interesting that Amara (who could be considered a human incarnation of THE DARKNESS) eats souls, while Jesus (who many consider to be the human incarnation of YAHWEH) offered his body and blood for others to eat for the nourishment of their souls. (Not that he’s the only divine one to do that.)
Like, he’s considered a sin-eater while she’s a soul-eater. He took on the burden of sin for those who believe it, and she seems to be taking on some of the burden of having a soul (even though some people like Len consider that to be a bad thing while others like Sydney thought it was good). Part of the burden of having a soul is the burden of sin…so maybe in a very twisted way these cousins are doing the same thing through opposite actions?
I guess it depends on what’s happening to the souls Amara eats. Do they disappear upon ‘digestion’ or is there still something of them left? Are they going somewhere like when reapers usher the souls of the dead on to Heaven/Hell/The Veil, or are they completely broken down and gone forever?
(Am I going anywhere with this? I dunno. :P)
Eat or be eaten.
