- According to Duff Brenna, “All literature shows us the power of emotion. It is emotion, not reason, that motivates characters in literature.” In other words, in stories, feelings, not thinking, causes characters to act. Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare and A Day No Pigs Would Die by Robert Newton Peck illustrate the truth of this quote.
- Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare proves Brenna’s quote to be true. Conflict is an important literary element in this story. When Tybalt killed Mercutio, Romeo became so angry he killed Tybalt. As a result, Romeo was exiled. Because of this, Juliet’s plan to get Romeo back resulted in both their deaths. So Romeo’s anger caused their deaths, proving Brenna’s quote true.
