In a prison cell in the Middle Ages
It is cold, damp, gritty, dark. Mud and filth caked on stone walls
Cannons rumbling in background, musty smell, cold damp iron bars
The entire story takes place in this cell
eow
The Norman soldiers enter Joe's cell and beat him up
Joe tries to fight back with some tricks his Dad had taught him
The soldiers fight dirty - they tie Joe up and begin alternately kicking him
Joe tries to break free but the harder he struggles, the harder they kick
They begin telling him lies about Susan
Through all this, Joe remains stalwart (though a little shaken)
The soldiers finally pull the ultimate - they release rats
Joe tries to bite the rats but the rats are too quick for him and bite him
eow
Joe Wright, in his twenties, is extremely broad-shouldered, handsome, strong
He wants his freedom and to be back with his lover, Susan Olfield
Joe's weakness is rats -- he hates them
His strength is his muscles and his size -- he is a brute
Joe loves England dearly, almost more than Susan
eow
The antagonists are Norman invaders out to capture the British throne
These guys are the slimiest, filthiest, crudest bunch of mercenaries ever
They want Joe's service in their fight for the throne of England
They hold Susan captive using her to blackmail Joe
eow
The conflict is Joe versus the Normans (society)
They will test Joe's love for Susan
The Normans have already captured Joe and begin physical torture
They apply mental torture by telling him that Susan no longer loves Joe
They go back to physical torture using rats to terrorize Joe
eow
The ultimate torture is when they tie Joe and release the rats on him
Joe is tortured by having rats eat off him as he lies tied on the floor
Joe can't stand it. He disavows Susan and joins them in their fight
Joe finds life with the Frenchman not that bad
He falls in love with a French woman named Darlene
