An Analysis of the Emotions in the killing scene (Jdt 12:10-13:9) Starting with a terminological and phenomenological perspective on the question "What is an emotion?", particularly as developed by Aaron Ben Zeʾev , the kiling scene in the book of Judith (Jdt 12:10-13:9 is analysed. This crucial scene in the book's plot reports the intense emotions of Holofernes but nothing is said about any emotions on the part of of Judith. The only emotional glimpse occurs in Judith's short prayers in the killing scene. The highly emotional Holofernes and the unemotional Judith together reveal that Holofernes is already made "headless" by his own emotions, whereas the unemotional Judith, unencumbered by emotions, is able to behead the "headless" Holofernes.
