Work of literature

    “A [literary] critic has said that one important measure of a superior work of literature is its ability to produce in the reader a healthy confusion of pleasure and disquietude.” Write about three works from different time periods—that produces this ‘healthy confusion,’” and in a well-thought-out, well-crafted essay, “explain the sources of . . . ‘pleasure and disquietude’ experienced by the readers of [each] work.” Substantiate your various claims with evidence from each text. The Ancient World: The Odyssey or Allegory of The Cave The Middle Period: The Wife Of Bath’s Prologue or The Thousand and One Nights The Early Modern Period: A Midsummer Night’s Dream
