XXXVIII, opposite page 116 .\n\nWith an expression of benign curiosity, Gargantua lifts a pilgrim on the end of a long staff — whom he proceeds to eat, as the caption suggests: “Why not? said Gargantua, they are good all this month.” Around him, a gathering of nobles, clerics, and onlookers observe the bizarre act with a mixture of astonishment and formality, seated in a grand Gothic hall with pointed arches and vaulted windows in the background.\n\nDoré amplifies the grotesque absurdity and exaggerated proportions typical of Rabelais’ Renaissance satire. The enormous scale of Gargantua in contrast to the minuscule humans around him underscores themes of gluttony, power, and the farcical nature of authority — central to Rabelais' irreverent critique of contemporary society.\n\nhttps://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gustave_Dor%C3%A9_-_Gargantua.jpg",
