Quote by: Captain Cardio What I was saying, is the stories we are exposed to, usually only portray two sides, the right side and the wrong side. |
IWhat I'm saying is that literature usually actually has a
more nuanced view of "right side" and "wrong side" than society in general, and therefore actually contributes to the opposite effect of what you are saying. It is in the interests of the "status quo" that evil be completely evil and good be completely good, and literature works against that status quo. Sometimes I think literature goes to far and society would benefit much more from viewing evil as evil and good as good, but whatever the case, I stand by my assertion that literature is on your side. There is usually nuance and complexity in literature; try to find nuance and complexity in the average politician's speech!
