Ambrosio is a monk who is sexually tempted by an emissary of the Devil, a young girl in monk's robes. After he has committed numerous crimes, it appears that he will be caught and punished by the Inquisition. Instead, he signs up on the Devil's team and wins his freedom.. and eventually, the papacy.

The first gothic novel I've read and one of my favorites, i’m not fond of the ending here..was so random.. i wish the monk seemed more weak at some scenes like malthus from hilda hurricane.. other than that it’s a decent adaptation
