The Monk

Left at a monastery as a baby Ambrosio grew up to be a cruel and stern monk renowned for his sermons and piety. When a nun named Agnes goes to Ambrosio for the sacrament of confession she admits that she is pregnant after having a long love affair with a man named Raymond. Though admissions told in confession are meant to be kept in confidence Ambrosio turns Agnes over to the authorities in her convent for punishment.
