The_Benefit_Of_Ourselves

The Benefit Of Ourselves ESSAY QUESTION 2. Darkness. Much literature is concerned with dispelling our complacency about our lot—our self assurance, our belief in the triumph of goodness and light. Choose three works and show how the authors make us confront the dark side of our nature. Works I choose: Midsummer Nights Dream, Brave New World, Heart of Darkness, Shooting an elephant, Mark of the Beast. THE BENEFIT OF OURSELVES We humans have the tendency to lie for our own benefit, the legacy that our past has left us. Nowadays we are more related with the evil than with good. Evil has been forever and will remain that way, and it has been present in the most peculiar places. Even in the powers of good, evil has gone through. Evil is best described as causing ruin, injury, or pain. In Heart of Darkness, the dark side is imperialism which tries to make the tribes do what they think is correct. In A Midsummer Nights Dream, the dark side is the society that wont allow their own sons to get married and that is why they runaway to the forest. I also think that the society won’t accept different marriages of different social status.
