Jacob - Jacob was the son of Issac and Rebekah, grandson of Abraham. He and his twin brother, Esau, were always in competition. God told Rebekah that Jacob and Esau would become the respective founders of two very different nations.
Ben's mother died giving birth to him. In the Bible, Benjamin was the 12th son of Jacob and Rachel, and Rachel died while giving birth to him.
I'm wondering if the "death by pregnancy" problems experienced so far by the Others are some sort of curse. If so, I'm willing to bet they have Ben to thank for it; it seems he's trying to create a Utopian society. And he hasn't exactly been moral in his attempts. What better way to punish him than to prohibit his attempts while also reminding him of his mother's misfortune?
Also, John Locke. Now, everyone knows that John Locke was a real English philosopher, but I decided to check the possible connection with John the Baptist. Four different religions believe that John was a prophet, and a "forerunner" for the coming of Jesus Christ. (I'm thinking back to those references to "him".) Kelvin and Desmond were both expecting someone at some point, and both were only able to refer to this someone as "him". Perhaps Locke is a forerunner for whomever is coming next?
