The first two questions on the questionairre sheet had pretty much the same answer for our group. William of Baskerville takes a more knowledgable approach where as the other characters jump quickly to the assumption of spirits and so on. The inquisitor takes those ideas of the majority of people and picks a person, any person, and deems him/her the evil. It is just the case of who is in the wrong place and the wrong time. The inquisitor is just doing what the people want.

The third question, of why the monks attribute events to the devil. Well, they were raised and taught that if something bad happens, it is the devil working. Tradition and their knoweldge are why the monks believe it is evil at work. Also, the authority agree and this only encourages the monks to keep believing in the devil and witchcraft.

The fourth question of why Jorge doesn't destroy Aristotle's book stumped our group. It was discussed that maybe it was because Jorge liked Aristotle, and believed in what he had to say. He just didn't like the second book, but in his love for Aristotle he couldn't destroy the book because that would be destroying him. It could be that Jorge sees laughter and comedy as a threat becuase it takes thoughts away from the faith and duties of a monk.

If anyone in group 8 finds something I missed or messed up on, please reply back and correct or add. thanks
