Bitching about Medieval Literature

Hooray! The dead guy's someone we don't care about!


Listen Later

In this episode, a particularly long story (3.7) is skimmed, summarised, and bitched at. The protagonist, having been blanked by his lover, disappears for seven years, and comes back to find that he has apparently been recently murdered, and his lover's husband has been convicted of the deed. Rather than clear things up immediately, he takes the opportunity to manipulate everyone involved.

CONTENT WARNINGS: Manipulative behaviour. The protagonist (in disguise) convinces his lover that he is God's representative and spends a long time berating her for abandoning him in the first place, implying that she had no right to end their relationship.

Abuse of justice. A character is accused of murder without strong evidence, and it is strongly implied that the accusation is upheld because the magistrates care more about their reputation than the truth.
