What is the theme in The Heptameron by Marguerite de Navarre?

Another theme that presents itself in this novel is the idea that life mimics art. As one reads the stories and then compares the circumstances of the storytellers' lives to those detailed in the stories, one begins to see many parallels between the lives of the storytellers and the stories they tell. For instance, one of the ideas often repeated in the stories is the idea that friars and monks are hypocritical. These so called "holy men" chase after women, kill, kidnap and lie to get what they want.
