In Hilary Mantel's "Bring Up the Bodies," the character George is portrayed as someone with a rather peculiar view of the world. He's guided by an insatiable curiosity and a lack of boundaries when it comes to love and desire. His godliness seems intertwined with a whimsical, almost absurd fixation on the physical, as he expresses a desire for the unconventional in partners. If he were to encounter a woman with an unusual trait, he would be enamored and devoted, showcasing his playful spirit that doesn't conform to societal norms.
This odd perspective culminates in a humorous yet impactful image where George's unabashed nature is highlighted. The narrator, shocked by the thought of George engaging with a small dog, emphasizes the absurdity of his limitless appetite. This stark contrast between George's innocence and the absurdity of his desires intrigues the audience, leaving them with a lasting, if slightly disturbing, mental image of his character's antics. It invites reflection on the nature of desire and society's boundaries in relationships.
