Master Piece

Define your criteria for a great work or, given our discussion of aesthetics, what is a masterpiece for you? Then, using your definition of a great work as a frame, argue how one text from the second half of our course is indeed a masterpiece, drawing on specific examples (through direct quotation and paraphrase) that support your argument for greatness. Some questions to keep in mind: are your criteria in keeping with western standards of beauty? How might (or might not) your identity and experience inform what a masterpiece is to you? Do you think people hundreds of years from now will still consider your chosen text a masterpiece?
