The Monk	comment	First published in 1796, The Monk is considered a classic of Gothic Fiction and one of the most influential novels of the genre, though some also consider it to be something of an Affectionate Parody as well. It was published almost thirty years after The Castle of Otranto, which is considered to be the first Gothic novel. The author, Matthew Gregory Lewis, was a nineteen-year-old English diplomat who penned the novel in a mere ten weeks. The book became an instant success, scandalizing and entrancing the reading public. None of his other works were nearly so successful as this first effort. Indeed, the work was so strongly identified as Lewis's greatest success that he was, and is, referred to as "Monk" Lewis.Madrid, Spain, at the time of the Spanish Inquisition. Mere minutes after the cathedral doors open, the pews are packed with people come to hear the famous monk Ambrosio give his sermon. Ambrosio is young, handsome, and considered incorruptible because he has never broken a rule of his order. But Ambrosio, for all his holiness, is a proud man. In the crowd waiting to hear him are a beautiful girl, Antonia, and her Maiden Aunt, Leonella, who meet a pair of gallant young men, Don Lorenzo and Don Christoval. Antonia and Lorenzo fall in Love at First Sight and Lorenzo vows to marry her.Meanwhile, Lorenzo's sister Agnes, who was forced/tricked by her guardians into taking the vows of a Nun against her will, is plotting to escape from the neighboring convent before they discover the fact that she's pregnant with the child of her lover Raymond (who also happens to be Lorenzo's best friend and Antonia's uncle). They had planned to run away together long ago in a scheme that involved Agnes disguising herself as her family's castle's resident ghost the Bleeding Nun, but it backfired when the woman Raymond whisked into his carriage turned out to be someone else, whose bloody nun garb wasn't a disguise... By the time a mysterious man of unexplained origins and supernatural powers freed Raymond from his supernatural Stalker with a Crush, it was too late. Their situation is now desperate... and it gets worse when a message between them is intercepted by none other than Ambrosio.After his sermon, Ambrosio meets a young student of his named Rosario, but it seems to him that Rosario is out of sorts today. Indeed, Rosario tells him a sad story of his sister Matilda who loved a man who spurned her, and she died. When Ambrosio is sympathetic to Matilda's tragedy, Rosario reveals that he is actually Matilda and Ambrosio is her beloved. Ambrosio tells her to leave the monastery at once, but her determination to kill herself if she has to leave makes him waver. Slowly but surely, Matilda convinces Ambrosio that she should be allowed to stay, even though she's a woman. That it would not be a problem for them to love each other. That it would not be a sin to break their vows of chastity.But this is only the beginning of Ambrosio's descent into sin, and soon all of their paths will collide tragically. To say it gets worse (and more complicated) is an understatement.An e-text is available from Project Gutenberg.The novel was adapted into a film in 2011, The Monk, starring Vincent Cassel, DÃ©borah FranÃ§ois and Geraldine Chaplin. Two previous film adaptations, Le Moine, from 1972, and The Monk (also released as The Final Temptation and The Seduction of a Priest), from 1990, starred Franco Nero and Paul McGann respectively. A faux film adaptation was also recorded for the videogame Immortality.Not to be confused with the detective show.

They do spend most of the book trying to do just this, but wheels of justice move slowly.

Ambrosio is dropped from a cliff by Lucifer, shattering his body, but leaving him just barely alive. He then spends six days paralyzed and in excruciating pain as wild animals slowly tear him apart, and only dies on the seventh day when he is drowned by sudden rainstorm.

The Monk / int_289008dc	comment	Incorruptible Pure Pureness: This is interestingly the quality about women that Ambrosio lusts after. When it turns out that purity can indeed be corrupted, he turns petulant and spiteful. Antonia could really be considered a Deconstruction of this trope, though it's hard to say whether it's intentional or not. Her purity makes her incredibly likable, but that purity stems from her being from being sheltered from the outside world, particularly its harsher and less comfortable aspects. Consequently, she is completely naive about the ways of the world, makes all the wrong and foolish decisions because of that naivety, and is blind to Ambrosio's true nature until it is far too late.

Agnes, however, survives despite her torture and the loss of her baby, and ends up recovering and become Happily Married with Raymond. Lorenzo is left grief-stricken by Antonia's death, but ultimately moves on, and finds a second love with one of the nuns' pensioners who's left the convent, who he helped to keep safe from the angry mob. All in all, the villains got their comeuppance, but not without causing some lasting damage by the time it happens.

It is his pride that allows him to believe himself holy while he continues to sin. Likewise, his growing Lust for Matilda, and later, Antonia, acts as the basis of his depravity over the course of the book. Antonia's Innocence may be one for her. While it does make her unfailingly kind and loving, and is what draws Lorenzo to her, that same innocence is what brings her to Ambrosio's attention, triggering much of the plot of the story. Indeed, after her mother's death at Ambrosio's hands, she makes several poor decisions as a consequence of her innocence and naivety, culminating in her faked death, rape, and actual death soon after.
