...estates in the name of the Church, thereby revealing greed. To demonstrate his contempt for this false system of values, Cenci embarks on a spree of killing and feasting, all leading up to his "defilement" of his daughter Beatrice (Susan Kelly). "For me," he says, "life, death, god, incest, repentance, crime do not exist. I obey my own law." Finally, Cenci's angry wife and angrier daughter have him killed.
