A thought has been rolling around in my head about Frank Lapidus for a little while now but I can't quite articulate it clearly. Lapidus...there is some connection to the blue stone called 'lapus lazuli.' That stone was named in part after Lazarus (the guy Jesus awoke from the dead after three days rotting in a cave, and also the brother of Mary Magdalen**). So....I'm guessing that Frank's character will be associated later on with resurrection or rebirth. Maybe his character arc will overlap with the Charlotte who rose from the dead after drowing?--The psychic's daughter? Ok, I have no idea where his story is going but that there is a connection with Lazarus, I think I'm on to something with that. I don't know, it just makes sense to me.


**I compared Mary Magdalen to Claire on the Lostpedia page 'Christ figures'. Check out 'Charley as a Christ Figure."

I think there's an early post on some other thread about the name significance of the F4.
