(4) 4-6 When plague strikes, a greedy friar drives Aurélie and Brind (Dogboy) from their home by blaming them for their mistress's death. During their flight to safety, the two must face their outlaw status as "plague-bringers." The story tends toward melodrama and lacks believability in places. The fictional scenario, however, effectively explains how superstition was easily manipulated into scapegoating in medieval England.
