In "The Monk" what event does NO represent the theme of entrapment of women ?
Correct answer: B. Matilda's dressing as Rosario
- A. Antonia's death
- B. Matilda's dressing as Rosario
- C. Agnes's admittance to the convent
- D. The magic mirror
Explanation
Matilda’s disguise as Rosario is primarily a device of seduction, gender disguise and sexual transgression, not an image of a woman being confined. Antonia’s death and Agnes’s convent imprisonment more directly express female entrapment.
