Elizabethan Deviots - From NFGworld! http://nfgworld.com/mb/thread/704-Elizabethan-Deviots Wed, 08 Sep 2010 09:39:01 GMT FeedCreator 1.8.0-dev (info@mypapit.net) Re: Elizabethan Deviots http://nfgworld.com/mb/thread/704-Elizabethan-Deviots -1: Because, as NFG and Nardo have said; the attackers were usually in a fragile state of mind, and were starved of many everyday pleasures and needs (even more so than they were). So raping the women (and sometimes not just the women) seemed like a logical step.
-2: You've pretty much explained this yourself.

It provokes such strong feelings in you, that when you stop watching the show; you feel a little empty. So you watch the show again because it gets your adrenaline pumping. ]]> no_email@example.com (NFGworld.com - Nith Azra) Sat, 25 Jul 2009 04:15:26 GMT http://nfgworld.com/mb/704#1904 Re: Elizabethan Deviots http://nfgworld.com/mb/thread/704-Elizabethan-Deviots *Disclaimer* not excusing behaviour or anything like that!
Also have to take the conditions of the invading army into account, these men where taken from their villages and families, drag half way around the country and sometimes the known world, they lived in squalid conditions and then had to fight to the death fro a cause they probably couldn't care less about.
Now mix these crap conditions with massive amounts of  battle and fear induced adrenalin and you get yourself a rather asocial human being who will behave like an animal and do horrible things.
We still see this sort of behaviour in pretty much any army around the world and have a bunch of technojargon to explain the behaviour (post traumatic stress, psychosis, etc)..
As to why this behaviour is written into plays and books..its what happens, nothing is as shocking as reality, and Shakespeare loved his tragedies, why sugar coat reality? ]]> no_email@example.com (NFGworld.com - Junpei) Fri, 24 Jul 2009 07:05:50 GMT http://nfgworld.com/mb/704#1902 Re: Elizabethan Deviots http://nfgworld.com/mb/thread/704-Elizabethan-Deviots pay.

You can't really apply logical thought to an illogical process.  Truly understanding these kinds of things probably involves more closeness to them than I bet you'd prefer. ]]> no_email@example.com (NFGworld.com - NFG) Fri, 24 Jul 2009 05:06:52 GMT http://nfgworld.com/mb/704#1900 Elizabethan Deviots http://nfgworld.com/mb/thread/704-Elizabethan-Deviots
This was all brought on by watching that series, The tudors and bloody Shakespeares Macbeth. As much as i love watching Shakespeare, i always get so fired up in those rape and killing sprees. I want to punch the morons out. But see if i lived in that time i wouldnt have the authority to... Along with the anger comes grief, i have no idea why i begin to cry, but i guess it scares me.

Does anyone understand why, in these movies the women and children are always raped and killed?

My statement: "Please, if you must, kill his soul but do not rape his body, especially while he's alive"
