Martha Nussbaum's Poetic Justice she writes , "good literature is disturbing in a way that history and social science writing frequently are not. Because it summons powerful emotions, it disconcerts and puzzles. It inspires distrust of conventional pieties and exacts a frequently painful confrontation with one's own thoughts and intentions"(5). This passage is what inspired me to take literature classes. I want to read something that assembles great passion within me!
