Los reyes nunca deberÃan comprometer su palabra. Si no la cumplen, es terrible, y si la cumplen, es terrible también. Oscar Wilde añade al personaje de Salomé todo un argumento que trastoca la historia evangélica de Jokanaan. En la Biblia, Salomé pedÃa la muerte de Juan por instigación de su madre HerodÃas, a la que Jokanaan reprochaba convivir con Herodes a pesar de estar casada con Filipo, hermano de Herodes. En la obra de Wilde, en cambio, Salomé está enamorada (obsesivamente incluso) de Jokanaan (Juan), quien rechaza su amor. La petición de que sea decapitado se produce, pues, por despecho. Tras la muerte, en una combinación de eros y thanatos muy propia de la época (en la misma obra un soldado sirio, enamorado de Salomé, comete suicidio), Salomé besa los labios de la cabeza cortada de Jokanaan. Herodes, enamorado a su vez de Salomé, ordena matarla.
