Tara begins the series as a kind, gentle, doctor. Tara is Jax’s wife and mother to Thomas and step-son, Abel. Tara is a healer by trade with a good heart. Like Jesus’ mother Mary, Tara is a strong motherly figure. Though she is not mother to Jax who represents the role of Jesus, she is mother to a child born of special parentage. Despite the fact that she was not pregnant, she did become mother to Abel without fornicating with his father, giving her a virgin mary-like quality. She did not produce a child with Jax, but was gifted with his child anyway.
