First is the whipping post where the crucifixions are also carried out. It\u2019s a Freudian phallic symbol and central to the male dominance of the dungeon. Leticia\u2019s suffering while manacled to it is the main focus of the film. Later, Lucrecia also spends time there when her usefulness to the Father is finished.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img src=\"http:\/\/redfeline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/MaleficarumMonxaMalaTheFilm_01193314.jpg\" alt=\"MaleficarumMonxaMalaTheFilm_01193314.jpg\" title=\"\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Second is the metal collar. Attached to the post, it immobilizes its victim, holding her in place for her punishment. The circular shape is a Freudian symbol for female genitalia, as is the wheel, of course, and a reminder that the Father controls the most intimate of female parts for his pleasure. When Leticia and Lucrecia endure their tribulations, the collar enforces their submission.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img src=\"http:\/\/redfeline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/MMMV2Sc29_0055_00055010.jpg\" alt=\"MMMV2Sc29_0055_00055010.jpg\" title=\"\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The third is the rack.

Leticia is its victim. Simply put, the kettle and its hot coals are the fires of Hell awaiting her, at least in the Father\u2019s eyes.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img src=\"http:\/\/redfeline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/MaleficarumMonxaMalaTheFilm_00572418.jpg\" alt=\"MaleficarumMonxaMalaTheFilm_00572418.jpg\" title=\"\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Read more ofA Commentary on Monxa Mala: Part One<\/span><\/strong><br><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/3hattergrindhouse.com\/2019\/07\/14\/a-commentary-on-monxa-mala-part-one\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/3hattergrindhouse.com\/2019\/07\/14\/a-commentary-on-monxa-mala-part-one\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Get our DVDs<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/1PpswWE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/1PpswWE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>DOWNLOAD our films<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/1JADqCK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/1JADqCK<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Red Feline Pictures<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/1RQLtOv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/1RQLtOv<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Visit vermeerworks.com<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/1M2JqVP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/1M2JqVP<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Watch Our Films at Vimeo<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/1M7xmpu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/1M7xmpu<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Rich Morelandhttps:\/\/3hattergrindhouse.com\/2019\/07\/14\/a-commentary-on-monxa-mala-part-one\/ Four images of importance dominate the film.
