    The Lais of Marie de France are a collection of short stories that depict situations where love arises. The author presents love as a complex emotion and demonizes it and praises it in certain instances. She is not always in favor of love as is described by the outcomes by some of the lovers in the story, such as when they either end up dead in the end or banished because of their love. The author presents this notion of love because she believes it is not always justified to love someone. In the book, two distinct types of love are shown.

    In The Lais of Marie de France, poet Marie de France illustrates many different kinds of love. The main themes being marriage and extramarital affairs. From reading the lais, Guigemar and Bisclavret, I believe that Marie has a traditional view of marriage. I can assume that Marie believes a marriage takes two to work. I also can assume that Marie believes that either partner can cause a marriage to fail. In her stories she does not put the blame of a failed marriage on just the husband or the wife, instead she creates different scenarios that causes the audience to recognize that it is not just one gender that possesses certain characteristics. She plays with what society would consider masculine or feminine by giving the characters opposite…

    The story “Just Lather, That’s All” has both similarities and differences when comparing it to the world. The topic in the story is “every single decision has a value”. First of all, it is difficult to make decisions both in the real world and in the text of the story “Just Lather, That’s All because a good decision can result in a rewarding aftermath, and a bad decision can result in a poor aftermath.” In 1983, Stanislav Petrov, a colonel in the Soviet Air Defense Forces faced an important decision to react to the nuclear missile attack warnings in the Cold War.
