As the name suggests, the female’s breasts were ripped off by using claws which either would be heated or used cold. This torture device was used for women who had been accused of spreading gossip, committing blasphemy, being adulterous or carrying out abortion. This device could also be used to get confessions regarding these accusations. There were many other cruel and disgusting torture devices used specifically for women such as the ‘Ducking Stool’. For these reasons life in the Middle Ages was harsh as there were severe punishments for the littlest offences women were accused of attempting.
Also people were sometimes allowed to be boiled, although this practise was mainly reserved for people accused of poison. One punishment that both classes could share as a punishment would be that to be trialled of witchcraft. The punishment for this would usually be public burning. This was a horrendous and truly torturing way to end; sometime the executioner would put gunpowder at the base of the fire to allow the person a quicker death. The difference between the crimes in the Elizabethan era and the crimes of today is it was too easy to accuse of a crime and not see a true trial in the times of her reign, and most murders were not premeditated, they would on most occasion escalate from a heated argument and result in a death.
Psycho is a 1960 American horror film by Alfred Hitchcock. One of the most famous scenes within the film is the shower scene where the actress Janet Leigh who plays the character Marion Crane gets murdered while taking a shower. The scene first starts off with Janet in her bedroom then going to take a shower. This scene is very cliché for a horror film because the audience are sitting there saying don’t go and have a shower. In typical horror films the females that always run back up the stairs from there killer or hide or take a shower always end up dead because they trap themselves.

The documentary “After the Montreal Massacre” presents us with a fragment of our society that is difficult to contemplate. When one person, acting alone can inflict so much death, suffering and grief finding a theory that explains everything is complex. The feminist explanations of crime are relevant to this case and help to explain some of what happened that day and also try to uncover what measures can be taken to prevent violence like this from happening. The cold blooded murder of these fourteen women by Marc Lepine is an extreme example of the violence women all over the world face in their lives. Domestic violence, sexual assaults, rape and discrimination, situations most women encounter in one form or another, at some point in their lives.
The Elizabethan Era was a period of unruly society, where even the slightest crime- if suspected- was punished with considerable pain by way of torture, and sometimes death. In those desperate times no laws, treaties, or blackmail could defend a person convicted of a crime from the torture and misery that was the consequence of their “actions” whether or not the accusation was legitimate. Queen Elizabeth I would not stand for anything that interfered with her verdict even if the ruling was cruel or unfair to the highest degree. The brutality and animosity of the “justice” of this age are revealed completely and explicitly in a speech given by William Harrison in 1577: "The greatest and most grievous punishment used in England for such as offend against the State is drawing from the prison to the place of execution upon an hurdle or sled, where they are hanged till they be half dead, and then taken down, and quartered alive; after that, their members and bowels are cut from their bodies, and thrown into a fire, provided near hand and within their own sight, even for the same purpose." 1 Crimes of Society Punishments of the people of the Elizabethan Era differed based on crime and status in the community, obviously.
