At Taormina our tour guide told us a very interesting and also crazy story about a Sicilian woman and an Arab man falling in love. As the story went on, the tour guide expanded on how due to jealousy, the woman cut off the man’s head and created it into a plant. Now, as we walked around, we saw multiple plants with head vases of the Arab man and other Arabs. I find this story very interesting because why would they cut off the Arab man’s head and create it into a plant? Out of all ways for the woman to harm the man, what made her choose to cut his head off and put it as a plant? And also, I would like to know how and why this story became so popularized when it is very grotesque. These are just a few questions I pondered as I thought more about this story and saw the multiple vases as passing by all the stores.
