The story of Samson as told in Judges seems to me to represent how the natural man ia weakened by the enculturating influence of women. Samson's mother is warned not to drink wine during pregancy, a medically sound warning which alao suggests avoiding the manufactured in favor of the natural.
Then Samson kills 1000 Philistines with the jawbone of an *** (instead of a man-made weapon).
Delilah (a Philistine) asks Samson for the secret of his strength, in order to betray him.. He first tells her if he is bound with bow strings (a manufactured item), his power will be nullified. It doesn'r work. He snaps the bow strings.
Then Samson claims binding with a different rope will do the trick. It doesn't.
Finally Delilah seduces the truth out of him. Once his (natural) hair is shorn, he is captured and his eyes are gouged out.
Finally, his hair grows back in prison, and he avenges himself by pulling down the pillars of the man-made temple, killing hundreds.
His natural, God-given strength is contrasted to the artificial and manufactured, which he overwhelms. Delilah represents the feminine who shears him and is associated with enculturation. That, at least, is my analysis.
