Ethics in Literature (1)

Big question: How do we decide what is right?

Knowing what is right and wrong is something we are taught at a young age.  Why is it then that some people do bad things? Does the way we’re brought up affect our moral compass? How do we even determine what is good and what is bad? Looking at a variety of texts, we will ask these questions of the characters and their actions, and reflect on ethics in our society.
