Question

What are some classic books that encourage violence in ways?

Answer 1

The Iliad?

Its all about how wonderful it is to honerably kill warriors.

Answer 2

By putting us in the minds of both killers and victims, Truman Capote's classic, fictionalized account of a true crime, 'In Cold Blood,' can be seen (when thought about this way) to encourage two kinds of violence:

a.) The kind of violence wherein a man or woman living out in the country should be ready to kill any intruder on sight.

b.) The kind of violence wherein a person who didn't intend to kill at first feels he or she 'must' kill in the end, to eliminate witnesses to a planned, less violent crime that goes awry.

Answer 3

1984 by Orwell? It actually tells that there is nothing you couldn't force someone to do only if you have the right weapon for it.

Answer 4

Why?

I guess you could say Shakespeare's Julius Caesar because Brutus and Cassius kill Caesar to save Rome (or so they think).

Answer 5

Anthony Burgess's "A Clockwork Orange," in which the main character gets his jollies from raping, robbing, and beating.
