The image I found most revolting and yet intriguing was that of having a cooked baby to be served at the christening of another. For me, this image put into perspective the absolute inequality of the situation. It make me think about how those children had come into separate circumstances through no fault of their own and how unfair that is. How they would live or die based on the decisions and mistakes of other people. The image also points to some of the hypocrisies of religion, particularly the relevance of ceremony over practicality. By putting the two children together so closely and yet in such different circumstances brought to life the harsh reality of this time period.
