Equations in Literature
I have never resorted to using math in order to help me relate to something in literature, and I must admit, the concept freaks me out a little bit. In Diana’s blog, she took a totally different angle on Desmond’s article. The message she got from Desmond was, “See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.” I never would have thought to look at O’Connor’s A Good Man Is Hard To Find in that way, but Diana had it all mapped out in her blog, and it was very easy to follow. She related her thesis to an equation described in Desmond’s article and then elaborated on it, evil + evil = evil x 2. I thought this was a very interesting way to look at it.
