So much insight here ...
OK, the biggest theme here is the myth of creation with Ford being God, Westworld the Garden of Eden and the hosts being man (humans) who are yet to gain consciousness. It is quite telling that a woman (Dolores) is leading the quest for self-awareness. I'm not sure whether Dolores is more Eve or Lilith, but definitely a combination of the two. I believe that the image of Adam was split between 2 characters - Bernard the already conscious man who interacts with God and Teddy the clueless Adam who's slow on the turn. Arnold is Lucifer. It remains to be seen if Arnold is one and the same with another character in the show.
The show has an interesting take on the image of God and Satan with Satan being the empathetic figure, someone who truly feels for the humans and wants them to have it all.
