I don't think Job is a story meant to be reflective. I think it's meant to be provocative. I see it as a story just between God and one of His creations, and I think Job sees it as that as well. Job just puts everything that is around him in the context of his relationship with God, and assumes a relationship that is confrontive and consequential and real. I like seeing Job question his creator and run from his creator - Job's God couldn't be more real
