Question

“There are many reasons why the exploration of the same theme or issue can be more entertaining in some texts than in others”

Compare the reasons why you found the exploration of the same theme or issue more entertaining in some texts than in others. Support your answer with reference to three texts on your comparative course.

Answer

There are many reasons why the exploration of the same issue can be more entertaining in some texts than in others. The issue of control and violence is explored in both A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen and Room by Emma Donoghue. This issue is more entertaining in Donoghue’s Room than in Ibsen’s A Doll’s House.
