Problem

Write a 200 words response to the following discussion activity. Use specific references and direct quotes from our readings this week to illustrate and support your view/s.

Congress is commissioning you to prepare a study about the effects on readers of violent, disturbing literature--i.e., gothic literature. You are told that among sociologists there are two schools of thought: one is that such literature acts to "purge" the violent tendencies of people, allowing them to vicariously "let off steam" in a safe environment; the other is that such literature only desensitizes people and therefore makes them more prone to violence. Based on the context of this readings, how would you evaluate this problem, and what recommendations would you make? Write a report to Congress in which you cite Hawthorne, Poe, and Melville as subject experts on the effects of gothic literature.
