Your Voice, Hugo’s Masterpiece, and Literature’s Moral Dilemmas

by | Oct 24, 2024 | The Daily Digest

In this episode of English Plus Podcast, we take a closer look at three topics that inspire, challenge, and connect us. Whether you’re looking to discover your unique voice, reflect on timeless literature, or wrestle with moral gray areas, this episode has something for you.

Finding Your Voice: Writing the Way Only You Can
We begin with a discussion on finding your authorial voice. What does it mean to express yourself in a way that feels authentic? Whether it’s journaling, texting, or public speaking, your voice is already within you. The key is learning how to develop it—and using it confidently.

Love, Loss, and a Cathedral: The Heart of The Hunchback of Notre-Dame
Next, we dive into Victor Hugo’s unforgettable novel. The Hunchback of Notre-Dame isn’t just a love story—it’s a reflection on beauty, obsession, and belonging. We explore how the novel’s themes resonate with modern readers and why society’s judgments are often harsher than they should be.

Right, Wrong, and Everything in Between: Morality in Literature
Finally, we examine the concept of morality in literature. Why do we empathize with antiheroes and characters who make questionable choices? From Shakespeare’s Macbeth to Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men, the best stories challenge us to think deeply about right, wrong, and everything in between.

Vocabulary in Context
Throughout the episode, we explore words like perspective, resonates, and articulate. These aren’t just literary terms—they’re essential tools for expressing yourself and understanding others. Whether in conversation, writing, or thought, these words help you connect with the world around you.
