Key Idea
By focusing so much on morals and trying to make it so that everything has a lesson- you end up with this kind of thing where a lot of works don’t fit
It distorts and devalues the literary arts to conflate an education in the history and interpretation of literature with an education in morality (View Highlight)
Note: People do this with the bible also
