Oh how my heart aches, The medieval film "The Name Of The Rose" directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud depresses me. Although it was about a murder mystery the treatment given to the peasant woman from the monks was dominant; scorned, called a witch, and almost put to death; as if she was a criminal to society.Sacrificing her body for food because she was poor;living outside the walls of the monastery. "one of the monks must have probably gave it to the peasant girl in exchange for her favors", secretly visiting as a sex slave to the monks and were suppressed by monks after that sacrifice. Her expectation of her female gender has become degrading, treated like a dog, blamed for things she did not do, pointed out as a devil. This is an example of men perception of women as being troublesome and evil spirited in the medieval era.this movie gave me an insight of women treatment during the medieval time
