(PG 47) There was something about Joe Starks that cowed the town…he had a bow-down command in his face, and every step he took made the thing more tangible.
This makes Joe sound like a godly figure to me. God is this power figure who people believe in and entrust their livelihood to. Not through force or reasoning, just because the idea of a God pleased the people and gave them hope. This is exactly what has happened with the people of Eatonville and Joe Starks.
