“Here is another story about our compassion. In a village not far from here, a young man murdered a banker and his wife, then raped the servant girl and drank all the wine in the cellar. He was tried, found guilty, sentenced to death, and executed. Well, there was such interest in seeing this peculiar fellow die on the guillotine that people came from all over the countryside the night before—more than ten thousand of them. There were such crowds that the bakeries ran out of bread. And because the inns were full, people spent the night outside: to see this man die, they slept in the snow.

She said even the Christian culture knows how to redeem violence: through sacrament. She would take communion, eat her fish. If she didn’t, nothing made sense. I don’t remember half the things she said. She said Indians ate what they loved. She said it was a kind of cannibalism, so I should understand it: I had swallowed her.”

Once disguised, the men often channel the creature they represent, be it a boar or goat or bear, the symbol of fertility. ‘You have the right,’ says Fréger, ‘to be wild and an animal, to find the beast inside yourself’.
