According to the 18th-century scholar, author, and critic Samuel Johnson, "Nothing can please many, and please long, but just representations of general nature" ("Preface to Shakespeare," p. 210).1 By this Johnson means that no literature will endure the test of time except that which reveals and explores situations and characteristics that are recognizable, that most of us share, that are common to people across boundaries of time and (to some extent) place. With Johnson's idea in mind, answer the following questions in one well-integrated essay.
