Paper Summary:
This paper highlights the issue of diversity in three great classics. The paper looks at how LeGuin's work is closely connected to other diversity issues, such as gender and race; how Sophocles shows the connection between gender and class in "Antigone"; and how Melville's work demonstrates that class issues are integrated with race issues.From the Paper:
"Inherent in Ismene's words is the inherent difference between Antigone and her sister. Ismene accepts the social paradigm of the world in which they live. She, like Kreon, is extremely aware of class and gender differences, and acts accordingly. This is the same situation that initially occurs in LeGuin's novel. Ai, being made aware of the nearly insurmountable class difference, feels overwhelmed by his sheer inferiority."More papers on Class: An Issue of Diversity:
