The most astounding example of this is Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe. The last line of the book says something about the "pacification of the natives of lower Niger" Now; his entire message is about communication. He shows how cultures conflict because they do not understand the other's culture. This causes dissent within their society and leads to ultimate war. His message probably would not have been taken into consideration according to the time he wrote it in, but through using characters such as (Oknokwo) he is able to relate to one side. He also uses the white merchant as another example to relate to another side. These characters contain attributes, which appeal to both sides. This deceitful tactic forces the reader to read a message, which is shrouded in symbolism.
Law is law. Law of blood, which an eye for an eye for an eye infinite. Aeschylus cannot think this. This causes the waste of humanity; this concept was not readily accepted during his time. He wanted to change the principle that was supposedly mandated by the furies and the gods. Messing with this authority directly could cause him to be viewed by others as a heretic where he would be banished from society or even worse killed. To soften his message, he evolves his idea through the use of a trilogy, the Story of Agamemnon, Euripides, and the Libation Bearers (I think that's right). Anyways, he softens his idea much like Achebe does not to send any harmful messages. If his message is a threat this could be a problem, so he has to balance it out in the form of a story. He shows understanding by taking the opposite side and making them change their minds (appearance the furies) in the book. In order for him to move away from the previous belief blood for blood, he introduces the Oresteia. This is another example where author places his ideas through a character. .
As Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen starts out "IT is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.
