what are some good question I can ask about the story The Monk to start a group disscusion?

What about the role reversals of the characters, and the way the characters are depicted in the story. Men and women in the novel both share feminie traits.

You might also want to address the treatment of women. Imprisoment, failure to act on the decree of authority, starvation, rape, incest...... all of these horrors are endured by the women in the novel at one point or another.
