the setting: canto VII, Ruggiero, a pagan knight, searching for his love Bradamante, a Christian warrior princess, is getting suckered into the realm of the enchantress Alcina. 2 anon damsels have begged him to *not* kill a monster and instead follow them to Alcina's castle
like an idiot he goes along with them
man this castle sure is neat
man this castle sure is neat
and Alcina is smokin hot, great boobs, good feet, the whole package really
ofc as the reader you know where this is going
Bradamante? fuck it forget her
(l. 8 here probably tongue-in-cheek? hard to tell for sure—Ruggiero is still a pagan but eventually will convert to Christianity)

the sorceress Melissa is now coming to Alcina's castle to rescue his dumb ass
if we were to map this episode onto the hero's journey cycle, i think we're at the abyss right now
Ruggiero is a slave

aw fuck well this is embarassing
now that the Ruggiero sees the enchantment clearly for what it is we are heading out of the abyss
repentance and clarity of vision go hand in hand
beginning of canto VIII lays the moral on thick just in case the reader somehow missed it
glamor as enslaving force is by no means obsolete; we do not now nor have we ever lived in a "disenchanted world" https://twitter.com/priapic_jest/status/1276946343194513409
