  1. In Tartuffe, playwright Moliere uses the title character Tartuffe and his sinful actions, manipulation of his host and deceit to bring about conversation of religious hypocrisy, a controversial idea during the time the play came out.
  2. In Life of a Sensuous Woman, author Saikaku depicts women as servants to men through the several men-serving roles the narrator takes on throughout the story, including that of a prostitute, a  domain lord mistress, and a women forced into a sexual relationship.

    Wow, both of these are really good ones. I think your second one is really good, because you included actual examples, so that when someone reads it they will know what to expect from the essay. It is set up like a guide for what is to come. Your first one is also really good as you stayed with one topic and decided to show it through one character to focus on. About the first one I don’t really know if you need the whole “controversial part” but it does really matter, it still good. Just a suggestion, other than that I really like it.

    1) I completely agree with this! Having the trust of him and his family because he said he was a religious man completely unravels the idea that any man could be a religious man and the fact that they are just man.
    2) This is great. The narrator is always serving someone, even the wife’s serve their husbands by being their basically just for baby making, for love and other physically attributes the husbands turn to their …(don’t know the word).

    Milyza,
    Both are interesting, but in the first you would need to clarify what you mean by “conversation of religious hypocrisy” (which I suspect is a typo?) If you mean conversion, then you still need to clarify that, though. Your second statement is more specific, but you need to define what part of subservience you want to focus on.
