Inspiration

The story of the "FEMME FATALE" is commonly found in various literary works, both ancient and modern, and this collection uses theories of archetypal criticism, feminist criticism, and cultural anthropology to investigate and uses symbolism as the main aesthetic vehicle to express such stories in myths, legends, folk tales and literary works of many countries and nations around the world——The story of the "FEMME FATALE" is a variation of the "scapegoat" which is the replacement and deformation of an archetype in different times and places, and it ultimately reflects the extreme dependence and fear of men who have taken control of the discourse in human society since patriarchy. It is also a reflection of the ambivalence of men who have taken over the power of speech since the advent of patriarchy. 

The collection is not only artistic but also commercially viable, with inclusive qualities such as ageless.
