 * Support By the way, since I've just been reading an excellent book on the subject ("The Monstrous Middle Ages") I'd like to point out the monsterisation of femininity in this. The monster's large female genitals accentuate (for the mediaeval viewer) the temptation and torment of the chaste saint. By making them female and aggressive, the artist is mixing in a sexual trial to the physical. Adam Cuerden (talk) 06:03, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
