Vayeshev: The Prince
The parsha deals with mastery and subordination.
It begins after Yaakov is established as the ruler of Canaan by virtue of Aysov’s departure.
The choice of Joseph as the favorite, presumably the blessed heir ( in the mold of Jacob), sets the stage for his dreams of domination.
These dreams, in turn, lead to Joseph’s degradation into slavery, preserving the irony.
But even as a slave, Joseph rises to greatness, increasing the the master’s wife’s attraction to him , leading to his further fall to an imprisoned slave!
Even in prison Joseph rises to a position of consultancy. (Don’t you just hate guys like that! [the 1%])
