Decent Essays
Salut Maman ! It was good to hear from you, I had been waiting for long for your letter to arrive . Me, Marie and our ten children, all of us are under the blessing of god and doing well.

    Love is Caustic: A Look into the Similarities and Differences of Laustic and Bisclavret Throughout Marie de France’s many lais, she focuses on the many facets of human nature, such as who can be trusted, who will act accordingly to their rank and status in the court, who will be honorable and treat others with respect, and most importantly, who is most deserving of the love of another. By the very definition of the lais, being a love ballad of sorts, this is nothing surprising. What is far more shocking about the works of Marie de France is that she holds nothing back when it comes to the repercussions that her characters experience for their actions. The idea that love can nurture and help one grow is noted by Marie, but the opposite being…

    The world has been privy to generations of sociopaths as well as people who try to explain them. In Albert Camus' The Stranger, the author writes the main character, Mersault, as a sociopath who is indifferent to the world around him. However, his lover, Marie, is the exact opposite of him despite being in such close proximity. The contrast between Mersault and his foil, Marie, serves to prove Camus's point of the story, that there is no rational reasoning for life. Upon hearing the death of his mother, Mersault feels indifferent.…

    It is rather unsure to conclude that her name was indeed “Marie de France.” Nevertheless, it has been acknowledged that her first name was Marie and that she was from France. In addition to the author’s background, this woman was very well educated, comprehended three different languages containing English, Latin, and her native French. Marie de France discusses king in her short stories but, very vaguely, while conjectures have predicted that this ruler might have possibly been Henry II. There is not plentiful information on Marie de France, leaving readers intrigued by her work despite only knowing her first name, where she originated from, and that she stood as an exceptional, intellectual woman.…
