How does the story "Prince Louie" show the influence of the biblical story of Samson? The basic plot premise—a young hero gains super strength and his wife, spying for his enemies, learns it—is the same.

Both stories are about strong young men who give up a superpower that was given to them, but who learn that it was part of their character all along.

In both narratives, the Philistines try to defeat the Israelites through trickery, but after an initial victory, they cannot.

Samson and Louie are both young men who feel unsuited to the powerful social role in which they have been placed, but who finally accept it.
