Marraco(?) is a good example. He's having an affair, the woman insists he come to her house, the husband shows up, she forces him under bed, she draws husband into bedroom, WHY?!, husband is a giant, he's terrified of discovery, she makes husband mad, again WHY?!, husband leaves, there's a hatchet in the room!, what are you doing with the hatchet?, she makes a chopping motion and says that is what she would have done to husband.
