(2002) morally ambiguous characters—characters whose behavior discourages readers from identifying them as purely evil or purely good—are at the heart of many works of literature. choose   two works (novels or plays) in which morally ambiguous characters play pivotal roles. then write an essay in which you compare and contrast how the characters can be viewed as morally ambiguous and why their moral ambiguity is significant to the works as wholes. avoid mere plot summary.
