The discussion around the use of profanity in Atonement prompts a conversation about whether profanity has a place in literature. In my opinion to put it simply, profanity is a part of life, and literature is often the sharing of different lives and experiences in order to say something, so profanity belongs in literature. I think that this idea that literature has to be proper and formal is quite outdated, and possibly classist too, as it suggests that it is written by and for wealthy, well-educated people. In fact I find the use of profanity to be especially powerful because it tells you a lot about a character, and it usually appears in relation to characters of lower status which perhaps don't have enough of a voice in society. This links back to Atonement in that the use of that dreaded word clearly illustrates the class divide between Robbie and the Tallis family, developing the crucial issue of class conflict in the novel.

In this unit, I really discovered the endless possibilities in the art of literature. At a glance, it may appear relatively simple, but reading The Road specifically made me really appreciate how interesting writing style can be. For me it was also a very clear example of how craft relates to intent, as the strange, incorrect grammar and missing dialogue was extremely effective in creating the post-apocalyptic, lost atmosphere of the text.
