“Literature doesn’t evolve or improve or progress.”
In this quote Frye trys to point out that literature is out there in its finest it is just up to human beings to unlock its full potential. Literature does not evolve although the human beings and the way we present it and interpret might change. I agree with this quote because there are plenty of examples that relate to this such as Shakespear. If literature progresses Shakespear would not be looked upon as such a masterpiece as it is today. This quote has connection to McCullough's speach, all books are new to a person who is reading it for the first time.
I agree with this assignment. Literature will always be literature, it's the author and its surroundings that change and evolve.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Maddie and Ron. Styles of literature will always be changing and evolving, but
