— Não é ódio que me inspirais, é deprezo; é mais do que desprezo, é asco. O réptil que se roja pelo chão causa-me menos repugnância do que o vosso aspecto.

The setting

"It is not hatred you inspire in me, it is contempt; it is more than contempt, it is loathing. The reptile that crawls along the ground causes me less revulsion than the sight of you."
