The theme of justice is indeed ambiguous in the short stores Les Diaboliques by Jules Barbey D'Aurevilly. The stories are indeed graphically vivid, which take an unflinching perspective on life, love, sex, honor, lust, beauty and power—mostly from a masculine point of view. It is this masculine perspective which can shackle and disarm the female characters of these stories. But in each story, justice prevails on the fictional reality by allowing the females to consistently have an uncanny sense of beauty or cunning—a beauty that prevails by giving each female a bewitching or animalistic quality which endures and ends up haunting the male protagonists or disarming other female characters of the narratives. In this sense justice has fallen: while the female protagonists often don't have the same amount of freedom or power that the male characters do, they have a strong hold on the uncanny and the bewitching and their beauty continues to haunt and bewitch time after time, regardless of whether they're physically there or not

The prevalence of mass media programming like television sitcoms has positioned these brief, half-hour shows as mirrors for the American culture, because regular television viewers tend to regard what they see on screen as a direct representation of reality. When sitcoms willfully, or even subconsciously, instill their message with long-held ethnic stereotypes about the family structure, this seemingly minor event can result in wider societal trends. In a culture that views television programming as an extension of its own reality, the presence of bias or bigotry creates an environment in which these attitudes become permissible. As the American people continue to evolve and distance themselves from the atrocities and inequities of past generations, it is crucial that our most widely consumed media reflect this positive progression. Children and young adults are by far the most avid consumers of sitcom content, and because these age groups are the most impressionable among us, the major networks must actively encourage their writers, directors, and actors to reinforce positive viewpoints through their programming.
