In the Psycheverse
Psyche uses classical stories—particularly the Baital Pachisi tales—to interrogate how gender bias shapes moral judgment and narrative authority. Through the fourth tale's debate between two birds about guilt and culpability, Psyche examines how the same act is interpreted differently depending on who commits it, revealing how bias distorts truth itself within mythological and contemporary contexts.
