Throughout The Equitan, the love described between Equitan and the seneschal’s wife is characterized as irresponsible and unbalanced. These two lovers give into passion while knowing the negative consequences that would and did come about from their actions. In this passage, the wife’s appeal to Equitan appears dispassionate, whereas the King is overcome with passion whenever speaking to the wife. She speaks dispassionately, arguing that as a man of higher rank than her, the king will leave once he has amused himself with her. The wife states that love must be rooted in equality of status and loyalty, and that Equitan’s high rank will make their relationship impossible. Irony is utilized in this passage because the wife is actually attempting

Each sexual incident which occurs in the novel is tainted with grotesquem. Different levels of the darker side of sexuality are exposed, from perversion to flagrant displays of nudity. It serves to give the novel a bit of a moralistic overtone.

Margaret Atwood's short story “Lusus Naturae” demonstrates how we reject people, or things we do not understand. We have a tendency to shun what we do not know and what we do not think is morally acceptable.

Aubrey Beardsley wrote The Story of Venus and Tannhäuser during the fin de siècle, the end of the Victorian Era. This decadent work, following Baudelaire's credo "art for art's sake first of all," portrays sex and sexualities in a playful manner.

From Sappho’s beliefs on heterosexual relations, I would have to disagree. I am dis agreeing because first not each man is the same, what I mean by that is, not every man thinks the same.

The men that are corrupt are irrational beings that like to dictate and throw their weight around because they believe physically or verbally no one can match them. However, the reason why I disagree with this perspective

The feminist approach is based on finding and exposing negative attitudes toward women in literature. Feminists are interested in exposing the undervaluing of women in literature that has long been accepted as the norm by both men and women. Women characters in both Metamorphosis and Oedipus the King have different and similar characteristics based on the general norms so that they can be exposed by the feminist approach.
