Rustico and Alibech
I. Rustico and Alibech
1. Is this tale pornographic or artistic? Defend your answer. In my opinion, the tale Rustico and Alibech is an artistic tale. Because according to what I have researched, “pornography (often abbreviated as "porn" or "porno" in informal usage) is the portrayal of sexual subject matter for the purpose of sexual arousal,” and in the story of Rustico and Alibech I didn’t think that the purpose of this story is to sexually arouse its readers nor the intention of the writer to do so. And I also think that if this account is pornographic then there wouldn’t be any story in it, only sexual acts would be written in it. The author, pick this kind of nature for the story, Rustico and Alibech for certain reasons. One, I think he wants the people to know that anyone can commit sins, even though those holy men. And second, I think he also wants women to learn something from Alibech; not to be gullible and foolish.

Macbeth don’t want to murder the King even though he wants to be the King, but through the persuasion of his wife, Lady Macbeth, he proceed with their plan. Christian Doctrine, was also projected through the conflict of good and bad in Macbeth.
III. Rose for Emily
