Pulp Fiction Question: What's in the suitcase?

It sais at the sart of the movie what a pulp fiction is. Its what ever you imagine. I like to thinkit was a glowing piece of mud.

Marsellus Wallace's Soul is the popular answer but Tarantino has stated publicly that its up for interpretation from the audience.

Speculation abounds as to the nature of the mysterious glowing contents of the case: - Could it be Elvis's gold suit, seen worn by Val Kilmer (as Elvis) in True Romance (1993)? - The most persistent theory (most usually attributed to a friend of a friend who saw it posted on a message board by someone whose brother had read a report of a radio interview with Tarantino himself) is that it is Marcellus Wallace's soul. The story goes that when the Devil takes a person's soul, it is removed through the back of the head (this isn't part of any known religion, but this is what the message board posters say). When we see the back of Marcellus's head he has a Band-Aid covering the precise spot indicated by tradition for soul removal. Perhaps Marcellus sold his soul to the devil which would also explain why the combination to open the briefcase is 666. - Quentin Tarantino has said that the band-aid on the back of Marsellus Wallace's neck had nothing to do with an allusion to the Devil stealing Marsellus's soul... but that the actor Ving Rhames had a scar on the back of his neck he wanted to cover up. - Or could it be simply a 20-watt light bulb? - According to Roger Avary, who co-wrote the script with Quentin Tarantino, the original plan was to have the briefcase contain diamonds. This seemed neither exciting nor original, so Avary and Tarantino decided to have the briefcase's contents never appear on screen; this way each filmgoer could mentally "fill in the blank" with whatever struck his or her imagination as best fitting the description "so beautiful". The orange light bulb (projecting shimmering light onto the actors' faces) was a last-minute decision and added a completely unintended fantastic element. - In a radio interview with 'Howard Stern' in late 2003, Quentin Tarantino was asked by a caller the contents of the briefcase, and he answered, "It's whatever the viewer wants it to be."

Tarantino has said that he never seriously intended for anything to be in the case, and that it can be anything the audience imagines it might be. The case therefore serves as a plot device, a Macguffin, that is an item in a story that the audience knows little to nothing about despite its importance to the story. The item also serves as a motivation for the other characters and drives their decisions in some cases.. Examples of Macguffins are: The "necklace" in heist films or the "papers" in spy movies.

It is indeterminate. This explanation goes along with what Tarantino and Roger Avery have said about the final outcome of the briefcase.

It's taken from the movie "Kiss Me Deadly" (1955) where the detective Mike Hammer is after a package that glows and, in the end, finds it. It's a weird/great movie, so no spoiler from me.
