Question Details

Hi Serena,

Thanks for responding to the thread. Massacre of the Innocents in 1612 is an interesting piece. Do you think there is a good depiction of the community violence? In chapter eleven you learned about the significance of literary works. Sayre (2016) believe literary works revealed much about the trending mind-set of the Enlightenment writers. How did the significant writers—Austen, Hobbs, Rousseau, Defoe, and others—share the concerns for equality across the social classes? How might the convention of satire be useful in conveying a message? What was accomplished as a result and why was it important?
