Several characters mock the Dominicans and other mendicant orders. Thomas’ classmates call him ‘Dumb Ox,’ which becomes a famous nickname of his. Thomas is imprisoned by his own family for joining the Dominicans. Thomas’ brothers hire a woman to visit him in his cell and tempt him away from chastity.
