Literature and Time "What lasts is what is written. We look to literature to find the essence of an age" --- Peter Brodie What the quote above is saying is that literature is left within the time that it was written.

The Merchant of Venice: A Tragic Play In my opinion the play The Merchant of Venice is a tragic one which is discised as being comic.
