This brief essay engages with recent work by Michelle Karnes and Julie Orlemanski on the topic of medieval fictionality. It traces how fictionality operates in medieval pastourelles, which frame themselves as true-to-life accounts of sexual violence, victimization, and survival but also contain numerous fictions that both uphold and challenge rape culture. It discusses scholarly perspectives on pastourelle fictionality, and it draws connections to fictionalized portrayals of sexual violence in contemporary media such as the television show Law and Order: Special Victims Unit
