This is a critical lens response to the quote literature opens a dark window on the soul, revealing more about what is bad in human nature than what is good

"Literature opens a dark window on the soul, revealing more about what is bad in human nature than what is good." This quote means that literature will show all sides to a person not just their good side. It will show how evil a person maybe even though they may seem nice. I would have to agree with this quote because in the play Macbeth by William Shakespeare. Macbeth was once a noble man but …

…all that good deep down inside. So in conclusion Literature does open a dark window to a person's soul. It does show the person 's good and bad side which will undoubtedly come in conflict with the way a person will react to different situations. In time the window will shut because the person will have done so much evil that it will catch up to them and wind up killing them in the end.
