Monogatari Series of Novels and the Tale of Genji

Essay Instructions:

Instructions: Since we did not have enough time to "respond to" the text Decameron, I am giving you one more topic to discuss it along with another prompt regarding Genji, which we will continue talking about through next week. The requirements are as usual, 150-200 words preferably excluding your quotes. The deadline is 8:00 AM 7th November (I think from now on the rest of the your responses will be due on Wednesday so that hopefully you will be more flexible with your schoolwork), but no late submission is accepted.
Option 1: Citing examples from two of the Decameron tales and consider how a desirable truth is often a mere construct of words. Does it make language itself mesmerizing yet untrustworthy? How are we able to recognize the truth if words are no longer reliable?
