The Levice And His Concubine (Fansadox Collection 541)

The Levite obsessively pursues his abducted concubine Ester through a hostile wilderness, subjecting her to relentless physical and psychological torment before reaching her father's house, where he learns the father and sons murdered Ester's lover. The Levite assumes control, forcing his companion to restrain Ester and apply a spicy fruit concoction that induces agonizing burning sensations, then tests various implements of torture while coldly commanding further humiliation. He instructs his companion to continue the daily torture with capsicum oil, ensuring Ester's suffering persists as a reminder of her "transgressions" while he is away.
