The author examines Joseph's moral character and asks whether he is a spoiled brat, favorite child of his father, a tease and a show-off, a goody-goody and a tattle-tale; or a genius, politically and psychologically astute and insightful? He examines several past Torah Queeries that interpret Joseph as flamboyant and gay. The author then interprets one particular verse in the portion, the dramatic moment in at the beginning of chapter 45 when Joseph finally reveals to his brothers his true identity.
