The necessary evil, my precious and the little pleasant death

“The necessary evil, my precious and the little pleasant death” is a book which subtly addresses the roles of women in contemporary society without ever explicitly naming them. The author tries to show that the presence of women in a man's life can contribute significantly to improving the image of the latter. However, the book also underlines through demonstrations and testimonies that women can be formidable at times, especially when they feel in danger or when they are trying to achieve a specific goal. She can take advantage of her physical assets, particularly her gender, to achieve her goals. Even if it is clear that women are unique in that they complete and enrich men with their emotional support, their intelligence and their creativity, the author nevertheless warns us, inviting us to be careful by emphasizing that women can transform into a destructive force when they feel threatened or when they have an objective in their sights. The use of her physical assets, including her sexuality, is highlighted to illustrate how she can manipulate and influence the man, making him vulnerable to her intentions.
