Beatriz Rivera: Omphale
Quotes
-
Rosalie : I am going to tell you everything.
Justine : What?
Rosalie : [breaking the fourth wall] The charming girl, speaking with all the candor proper to her age, told me about Monsieur Rodin. Rodin is a scientist, a teacher and he practices medicine. He may be the most accomplished man in France at this time - but his wealth comes from none of these professions.
[Rosalie draws back a curtain revealing a torture chamber]
Justine : I learned from Rosalie on Fridays he carries out punishments from which he derives great pleasure.
[Rodin strips Omphale naked and binds her wrists]
Omphale : I protest to you. I did not...
Rodin : Of course you did. I saw you.
[Rodin tugs on the rope, causing Omphale to hang by her wrists]
Justine : Rosalie whispered to me these are trifles he invents as a pretext. Omphale is an angel. He only treats her thus because she sometimes resists him.
