There are also themes of greed and deception. Satipo betrays Jones and is punished quickly by death. Jones is hunting the Ark, in part, for the glory attached to its recovery. When given the opportunity to destroy it to prevent its misuse, Belloq calls his bluff and Jones backs down. Belloq suggests he is a skewed reflection of Jones, and only a small change would turn Jones into Belloq. A 2013 episode of the sitcom "The Big Bang Theory" ("The Raiders Minimization") argues that Jones accomplishes nothing in "Raiders of the Lost Ark", as the Nazis would have eventually found the Ark, opened it, and died regardless of Jones' actions. A 2014 essay by "Esquire" agreed, with the caveat that Marion would have almost certainly died at Toht's hands, and the Ark would have been flown successfully to Germany on the Flying Wing and opened for Hitler, likely killing him. However, Jones' involvement ensures the Americans secure the Ark, preventing the Germans from using it.
