Bitching about Medieval Literature

"A Sitting Target of Evil"


Listen Later

This episode features a record-setting FOUR stories (1.4-1.7), with hypocritical abbots, lecherous kings, miserly friars, and uncharacteristically parsimonious princes all being set in their place by appropriately deployed wit. Also misogyny, and a weird bit of dialogue about chickens...


CONTENT WARNING: The first story in this episode (running from 1:30-9:40) has some issues with sexual coercion (not that Giovanni seems to notice). A character who agrees to sex with one guy gets trapped with another guy, there are also power imbalance things going on. According to the narrator she's perfectly willing, but that's because Giovanni's a misogynist who doesn't get these things. Take care, and skip ahead if you need to.
