Wow, Lucius is stolen or sold a lot in this story. Anyway, Lucius, our titular ass, is now blindfolded and forced to work a millstone. Of course, he’s beaten and the work is hard, I’m just here wondering WHY IS HE BLINDFOLDED?
Anyway, blah blah blah, something about people who look like they are getting off a 45 year cocaine binge. Blah blah blah. Then I think there’s a commentary on Christianity? They mention something on this woman created a fake religion and says that she has one God and that’s her excuse for sex parties and binge drinking and to abuse animals. Okay???????????????
Then it gets super weird again. Like more then making your pack animal do work blindfolded weird. So the wife, the one with the on God, has a lover over while her husband is away at a diner party. So far, not weird. Then the husband comes back, here you think it might be like that little story from last time, where the wife tricks the cuckhold husband. No. Here’s the first subversion. The lover, a pretty young man (I like to think 18 cause any younger gives me the creeps), goes into hiding. The husband complains that he had to leave his dinner party because some guy’s wife was having an affair. SO, this guy, Barbarus, has an unfaithful wife. Anyway series of events happen with a greedy slave and stuff and the wife’s lover is suffocated to death by sulfur! That sounds painful!
The wife hears this she’s like what a harlot! She should burn for that. I’m thinking, you are going to eat your words because your lover is hiding. That lover is so dead.
So, Lucius seeing how terrible the wife is being, finds the lover and stomps on his fingers. The husband turns to the lover and is like I’m not going to kill. Why should my wife have all the fun. I’m like WHAT? Is this going to turn into a threesome?! Okay, no because the husband takes the guy as his lover and then flogs him cause he still slept with his wife without permission, then divorces his wife. If only he asked permission, then he would have a threesome.
Now both the lover and I have the same thought. What just happened and how did this lover survive that? WE JUST READ A SUBVERSION!
