In Reply to: Name of the rump posted by Julie Hoffer on December 07, 1998 at 17:38:46:

Animalistic and graphic? Remember, this is the 1300's we were viewing here. Putting that scene into the context of the time, what we saw was probably tame. I would say she looks and acts the way she does because of her station in life--she's a peasent. Her survival depends on the food she can steal from the abbey, thus she's willing to do whatever it takes not to starve to death. For this reason I'm guessing she felt she had to perform sex acts in the past for her supper, and even though slater didn't actually give her the food she felt it natural to screw him in order to keep him quiet about her being in the abbey because that was how things worked. So to say she was a sex fiend isn't fair, I doubt she enjoyed it.

And yes, it probably added to the movie for modern day viewers. As far as the reason for the two falling in love, I think it was his experience of the flesh that caused him to love her. And her reason was possibly because he didn't force himself on her, like the others, when he had the chance.
