How do biblical allusions work in Titus Groan?

One reason to read authors and works across different ages is to see them talking to each other. Today I’d like to try to explain how I recognise and interpret biblical allusions using some examples from Titus Groan, the first in the Gormenghast series by Mervyn Peake. I’ll show you what the biblical allusions are and what I think they signify.
