The lesson is on the topic of Murasaki Shikibu, and Mr. Ekoda wants to know what a famous Shikibu quote refers to. He asks Junpei who, as always, turns to you for help. Shikibu wrote the famous literary work, The Tale of Genji. The quote is taken from that text and goes, \u201cThou shalt not recite such a tale of this world before the princess.\u201d And Mr. Ekoda asks, \u201cWhat such tale does this quote refer to?\u201d He nominates Junpei to answer, but Junpei has no idea, and so turns to you and says, \u201cH-Hey, lend me a hand here\u2026\u201d What kinda tale is he talkin\u2019 about? There are three possible answers to this question: About a peaceful world About public opinion About romance I had pretty good look, but couldn\u2019t find the quote Mr. Ekoda refers to among any of the lists of the best and most famous quotes from The Tale of Genji. In fact, I couldn\u2019t find any references to that quote or to the scene it\u2019s taken from anywhere on that modern-day library we call the internet. But I determined The Tale of Genji is, in itself, a romantic tale, so I took a bit of a guess and chose \u201cAbout romance.\u201d as my answer. And it was correct. Mr Ekoda is talking about a tale about romance, so the correct answer is \u201cAbout romance.\u201d Have a boost to your Charm. The general point of the quote is it was considered inappropriate in 11th century Japan to tell romantic tales within earshot of a princess, lest she get any ideas. Princesses were very chastened and protected in those days, and led very rigid, controlled lives. And they definitely didn\u2019t get to choose their own romantic partners, so it would have been considered a bad idea to even let them learn that doing so might even be possible. Better to let the princess believe marrying the son of some other powerful aristocrat is the best, and only, option available. And people try to claim the video games are a waste of time and have no educational value! There\u2019s so much to be learned from Persona 3 Reload, that I\u2019d even go so far as to recommend reading our entire round up of classroom and exam answers from start to finish, just for the educational value. Or to maximize your in-game rewards. Whatever you prefer.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Persona_3_Reload_Tale_of_Genji_quote.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1119195"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2198"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1119195"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1119195\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1119355,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1119195\/revisions\/1119355"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1119213"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1119195"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1119195"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1119195"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1119195"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1119195"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1119195"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1119195"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

The lesson is on the topic of Murasaki Shikibu, and Mr. Ekoda wants to know what a famous Shikibu quote refers to. He asks Junpei who, as always, turns to you for help. Shikibu wrote the famous literary work, The Tale of Genji. The quote is taken from that text and goes, \u201cThou shalt not recite such a tale of this world before the princess.\u201d And Mr. Ekoda asks, \u201cWhat such tale does this quote refer to?\u201d He nominates Junpei to answer, but Junpei has no idea, and so turns to you and says, \u201cH-Hey, lend me a hand here\u2026\u201d What kinda tale is he talkin\u2019 about? There are three possible answers to this question: About a peaceful world About public opinion About romance I had pretty good look, but couldn\u2019t find the quote Mr. Ekoda refers to among any of the lists of the best and most famous quotes from The Tale of Genji. In fact, I couldn\u2019t find any references to that quote or to the scene it\u2019s taken from anywhere on that modern-day library we call the internet. But I determined The Tale of Genji is, in itself, a romantic tale, so I took a bit of a guess and chose \u201cAbout romance.\u201d as my answer. And it was correct. Mr Ekoda is talking about a tale about romance, so the correct answer is \u201cAbout romance.\u201d Have a boost to your Charm. The general point of the quote is it was considered inappropriate in 11th century Japan to tell romantic tales within earshot of a princess, lest she get any ideas. Princesses were very chastened and protected in those days, and led very rigid, controlled lives. And they definitely didn\u2019t get to choose their own romantic partners, so it would have been considered a bad idea to even let them learn that doing so might even be possible. Better to let the princess believe marrying the son of some other powerful aristocrat is the best, and only, option available. And people try to claim the video games are a waste of time and have no educational value! There\u2019s so much to be learned from Persona 3 Reload, that I\u2019d even go so far as to recommend reading our entire round up of classroom and exam answers from start to finish, just for the educational value. Or to maximize your in-game rewards.
