Critical Lens Essay: Black Boy According to Richard Wright‚ “All literature is protest. You cannot name a single literary work that is not protest.” This means that literature is usually based on a reflection on society which is protest. Literature exposes the dark side of society. I agree with this quote because literature is one of the protruding ways to understand how one thinks about an idea. The author’s opinion is a protest against what other may believe.

Mahatma Gandhi once said “There is a higher court than courts of justice and that is the court of conscience. It supersedes all other courts.” This quote illustrates the idea that man must live longer with his conscience than with a simple decision made in a courtroom. The distinction between right and wrong must be derived from one’s morals‚ not the rulings of the state. This concept of conscience conquering law can be applied to works of literature such as the Sophocles’ Greek tragedy Antigone

This quote can be interpreted as saying that one who understands and has control over

Kevi Fuseyamore May 29‚ 2013 Genna pd. 8 Benjamin Disraeli once said‚ "Circumstances are beyond the control of man; but his conduct is in his own power." This quote means that we can’t control our natural given situations‚ but we can control how we go about them. I agree with this quote because not only does it apply to literature‚ but it applies to real life as well.

Robert Assagioli once said‚ “Without forgiveness life is governed by . . . an endless cycle of resentment and retaliation.” In other words‚ if one can’t learn to be compassionate‚ one’s life is going to be controlled by a continuous feeling of hatred and revenge. This quote is accurate because people need to forgive others in order to move on with their own lives. Harboring negative feelings and holding grudges consumes you. The Tragedy of Romeo & Juliet by William Shakespeare illustrates this quote

F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote The Great Gatsby as memoir recalling a story of a life he once pertained. Within writing this narrative containing several symbols and metaphor it reveals the dark truth of life. As Hamlet said to Ophelia‚ “God has given you one face‚ and you make yourself another.” The battle between who Gatsby is and who he perceived himself to be‚ creates a futile battle. As the narratives reaches the peak of the climax‚ Gatsby believes by wedding Daisy he’d reach ultimate success. However
