Madman eagerly represented Biblical figure (4,9)
I believe the answer is:
mary magdalene
'biblical figure' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'madman eagerly represented' is the wordplay.
'represented' is an anagram indicator.
'madman'+'eagerly'='madmaneagerly'
'madmaneagerly' anagrammed gives 'MARY MAGDALENE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mary magdalene that I've seen before include "Christian saint" , "Sinner who became a follower of Jesus" , "Female follower of Jesus" .)
