The Role of the Female as the Carrier of Mystery

The principle of the female carrying the mystery is a recurring theme in stories. In detective stories, the femme fatale often carries the mystery, and in other examples like 'Moby Dick' and 'Lawrence of Arabia', the sea and the desert respectively serve as the female carrying the mystery. This principle is a key element in evaluating the effectiveness of a story and often revolves around unsolvable questions related to life, death, creation, and the divine.
