Talk:Dull Gret

Name
I can only find the name "Dull Gret" in Caryl Churchill's Top Girls. Art historians seem to use either Dulle Griet or Mad Meg. Having the title of the article on the painting be the name of a character in a play based on the painting (rather than what art historians actually call the painting itself) seems to me contrary to Article titles. Thoughts, anyone? --Andreas Philopater (talk) 22:37, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
 * If nobody objects, I'll take this as consensus to rename. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 21:11, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Some boring men who wrote a book
Not sure if the following is correct:

"Griet was a disparaging name given to any bad-tempered, shrewish woman. Her mission refers to the Flemish proverb:

She could plunder in front of hell and return unscathed.

Bruegel is thus making fun of noisy, aggressive women. At the same time he castigates the sin of covetousness: although already burdened down with possessions, Griet and her grotesque companions are prepared to storm the mouth of Hell itself in their search for more.[7]"

Even though someone may have said it in a book, the whole page contradicts it. It seems to refer to a virago or heroic woman who could (perhaps due to her dimwittedness but probably by virtue of her courage) plunder even hell and defy the devil. Also, the quote says it is definitely true, instead of "seems to refer to", it says: it is about. I would like to see the sources these authors used, instead of themselves as source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wlensink (talk • contribs) 09:09, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
