Abstract
“If justice comes from the people you fight against how can you get justice?” (Matuz). This is a question that has been long asked by citizens of the world and even some began to write about this topic in their novels. Umberto Eco and Ariel Dorfman used literature as an outlet to express their views about justice. This paper was written to figure out what ways justice plays a role in the Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco and Death and the Maiden by Ariel Dorfman and to what extent the major events in the plots are just. Within both of the works, one could find Eco’s and Dorfman’s perspective on justice and how it is exhibited in society.
Doing research on Dorfan and Eco aided in writing the paper because one would find that Dorfman was an activist against the Argentine government. This was valuable information to know when arguing points about bias in judgement, emotion, morals, and principles . However with research about Eco, one would find scholarly journals, reports and reviews about his book, the Name of the Rose. This shows that this book was highly valued in Eco 's career. Eco was a semiotician and very influential in the "world of literature." Because of these findings, this paper is formatted to resemble the requirements needed to obtain justice and the factors that can influence its decision. The paper is formatted this way because it assists with stipulating the purpose of the paper. From reading Name of the Rose and Death and the Maiden, one could infer that Eco and Dorfman took a literal, and creative standpoint when they wrote them and so the paper was written to portray their opinions about justice.
