In the Book of Exodus there are several plagues put upon the Earth, which are locusts, flies, gnats, blood, frogs, hail and fire. Speaking of today some would think that with tornadoes, hurricanes, droughts, fires of all kinds, and blizzards for these could seem like plagues upon the Earth. Did Pharoh learn from his mistakes, I believe he did when his firstborn son died but has the people of today learned from the tragedies and storms that are inflicted somehow. Some do and some don't. The theme of Exodus is Let my people go and learn for living with God.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Killing the firstborn seemed to have been a loud wake up call, but pharaoh was so stubborn. Maybe he was made so by God for a reason. I liked too, how you listed all the plagues and related it to our day.
Pharoah's memory and pain was short-lived, was it not? He was one much more inclined to vengeance since he considered himself a god.
