Job 1: 8 And the LORD said unto Satan: 'Hast thou considered My servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a whole-hearted and an upright man, one that feareth God, and shunneth evil?'

The Book of Job is a part of the Bible, in which extreme human suffering is dealt with. Job has everything taken from him, and instead of turning to sin, or blaming God, he keeps his faith even in the face of of his depression and feelings of helplessness. This coincides with the first Death Wish, where we meet Bronson`s character of Paul Kersey. Paul Kersey is an architect who is happily married and has a daughter whom he loves very much, but in one act of senseless violence, they are taken away from him at the hands of strung-out thugs. For the majority of the rest of the film, grief takes over Kersey`s life, and he struggles with his anger and sadness inwardly, shunning everyone in his life. Like Job, he never blames God, and only wonders why it happened this way. Of course, his course of action differs from Job towards the end, when he meet up with a friend from Arizona and receives his first pistol. From that point on he is a changed man, and becomes the personification of vicious retribution.
