You need to read the given passage and construct a question about the information present in the passage. The question should be answerable from the passage. Most importantly, only those questions are allowed whose answers cannot be determined from a single sentence. Do not generate questions that require only a single sentence to answer. Instead, try to combine two sentences and create a question from that combination. Do not create open-ended questions, i.e., the answers to them cannot be found precisely from the information provided in the passage.

Q: Paragraph- Sent 1: Madame White Snake: East Asian Femme Fatale of Old The Chinese legend of Madame White Snake, the snake demon that takes human form and becomes the wife of a man, has exerted a lasting influence over East Asian folktales and fiction for centuries.
Sent 2: Two quintessential novellas, "The Lust of the White Serpant" from Ugetsu Monogatari by the Japanese author Ueda Akinari and "Eternal Prisoner under Thunder Peak Pagoda" a traditional Chinese story, are both relatively complex and demonstrate not only the evolution of the White Snake figure to become a more believable human, but also what aspects may have given her enduring appeal.
Sent 3: While both these stories are ostensibly morality tales about the dangerous beauty of this femme fatale, the true source of pleasure from these narratives is the femme fatale's transgressive behavior, not her eventual punishment for it.
Sent 4: Early tales of Madame White Snake appeared in China as early as the Song Dynasty, and initially her portrayal was fairly direct, as a villainous demon who drains the life force out of her human husband.
Sent 5: But over time, characterizations of her became more complex, and the persona of Madame White Snake became more sympathetic, and perhaps even a model of the ideal Confucian wife, particularly in "Pagoda".
Sent 6: Whalen Lai notes, "She was a loving wife, a caring mother, rescuer of her family from the first flood, and, at that point, a general benefactor of man.
Sent 7: She took on the virtues of a traditional Chinese female, particularly forbearance".
Sent 8: But if she were really an ideal wife, why could she not live happily with her human mate?
Sent 9: Her dangerous sexuality is the key.
Sent 10: Femme fatale might seem an unusual term to apply to a character from pre-modern Chinese and Japanese literature who may exemplify the virtues of an ideal Confucian wife, since it is primarily associated with film characters, particularly those of the film noir genre.
Sent 11: But this term, which is relatively speaking, a neologism (The earliest uses were around the beginning of the 20th century.

A: Madame White Snake was peculiar being, what did she do to her human husband?

Q: Paragraph- Sent 1: In the period before World War II, the New York Times published a vignette in their "The Talk of the Town" feature saying that Einstein was so well known in America that he would be stopped on the street by people wanting him to explain "that theory".
Sent 2: He finally figured out a way to handle the incessant inquiries.
Sent 3: He told his inquirers "Pardon me, sorry!
Sent 4: Always I am mistaken for Professor Einstein."Sent 5: Einstein has been the subject of or inspiration for many novels, films, plays, and works of music.

Q: Paragraph- Sent 1: He repeatedly calls on his followers to embrace martyrdom since "the walls of oppression and humiliation cannot be demolished except in a rain of bullets."Sent 2: For those yearning for a lost sense of order in an older, more tranquil world, he offers his "Caliphate" as an imagined alternative to today's uncertainty.
Sent 3: For others, he offers simplistic conspiracies to explain their world.
Sent 4: Bin Ladin also relies heavily on the Egyptian writer Sayyid Qutb.
Sent 5: A member of the Muslim Brotherhood executed in 1966 on charges of attempting to overthrow the government, Qutb mixed Islamic scholarship with a very superficial acquaintance with Western history and thought.
Sent 6: Sent by the Egyptian government to study in the United States in the late 1940s, Qutb returned with an enormous loathing of Western society and history.
Sent 7: He dismissed Western achievements as entirely material, arguing that Western society possesses "nothing that will satisfy its own conscience and justify its existence."Sent 8: Three basic themes emerge from Qutb's writings.
Sent 9: First, he claimed that the world was beset with barbarism, licentiousness, and unbelief (a condition he called jahiliyya, the religious term for the period of ignorance prior to the revelations given to the Prophet Mohammed).
Sent 10: Qutb argued that humans can choose only between Islam and jahiliyya.
Sent 11: Second, he warned that more people, including Muslims, were attracted to jahiliyya and its material comforts than to his view of Islam; jahiliyya could therefore triumph over Islam.
Sent 12: Third, no middle ground exists in what Qutb conceived as a struggle between God and Satan.
Sent 13: All Muslims-as he defined them-therefore must take up arms in this fight.
Sent 14: Any Muslim who rejects his ideas is just one more nonbeliever worthy of destruction.
Sent 15: Bin Ladin shares Qutb's stark view, permitting him and his followers to rationalize even unprovoked mass murder as righteous defense of an embattled faith.
Sent 16: Many Americans have wondered, "Why do 'they' hate us?"Sent 17: Some also ask, "What can we do to stop these attacks?"Sent 18: Bin Ladin and al Qaeda have given answers to both these questions.

A:
What are the basic themes of Qutb's writings?
