Essay Topics

1.

Why is the book called The Art of Seduction instead of How to Seduce? How is seduction an art, according to Greene, and not a formulaic science with specific steps to follow?

2.

Greene draws on Freudian psychoanalysis to describe concepts like regression and repression. How might another branch of psychology be used to explain the seduction process and concepts?

3.

Choose one of the historical or fictional stories in the book and compare Greene’s summary and interpretation with the source text. How does it differ? What is an alternate interpretation of the story?
