When she questions the Archivist, “Why does any martyr cooperate with his judases?” (349) She pleads guilty of knowing their intentions and that her actions would lead to her death. Sonmi likes to call herself a Martyr believing her death will help inspire a successor who will in turn help to liberate the fabricants. These actions of Sonmi reflect her Christ-like behavior and the Christians undertones are illuminated through the text. Moreover the word “judas” means to betray or betrayer. Ironically in the bible Judas was the one who betrayed Jesus for a bribe of “thirty pieces of silver”. The valleymen like to refer to any one who will betray them as “Judas”. Not to mention the fact that Sonmi reffered to “his judases” proves to the reader that she has pre-knowledge of the Christian religion and the impact of the death of martyrs like Jesus Christ had on their own
