Baptism

Baptism in The King of Tars reveals 14th century beliefs about the power and "overriding blessing" of Christianity. For instance, the baptism of the blob-child instantaneously transforms her into a functional human being (lines 770-73). Later, the baptism of the Sultan of Damascus also transforms him from "blac and lothely" figure into a "white" figure (lines 922-27).
