In the biblical story of the prodigal son, swine were considered unclean animals in Jewish culture. The fact that the prodigal son was tending to swine indicates his extreme poverty and degradation, as he was reduced to caring for animals that were forbidden to his own people. This detail emphasizes the depths of his despair and the extent of his wayward behavior before he ultimately decides to return to his father.
