I was thinking about that scene from Monty and it reminded me of Lewis' the discarded image. Sir Bedemere's systematic, however comical, reasoning was a brilliant reflection of the Medieval mind. I also think that it's interesting that the stereotypical view of the Medieval man, namely stupid and dirty. In this scene, whether intentionally or not, the two views are juxtaposed. It shows the disparity between the two images and another piece of symbolism that once again may not have been intentional,the stereotypical view eventually won. The stupid reasoning eventually overcame and warped the systematic methodical reasoning, but it was funny so I dont think anyone really cared. But i think that's about it on that so yeah. haha
