The French novelist Colette (1873β1954) has been widely praised for the vividness of her language. βββ ββββ βββββββ ββββββββ ββββ βββ ββββββ βββ βββββββββββ ββ βββββββββ βββββ ββββββββββ ββββ ββββββ ββ βββββββ ββββ ββ βββ ββββββ ββ β ββββββ ββββββββββββ ββ β βββββ βββββββββ ββββββ ββ βββ ββββ ββ ββ ββββββββ ββββββ ββ βββ βββββ ββββ βββββββββ ββββββ ββββββ ββββββββββ βββββ βββββββββ βββββ ββββββββββ
The author concludes that Coletteβs novels address important moral questions. She bases her claim on the fact that each of Coletteβs novels is a poetic condensation of a major emotional crisis of an ordinary person, and that these crises almost always raise important moral questions.
This can be a tricky question, as the author makes several subtle assumptions:
(1) A poetic condensation of a moral crisis is still able to address that crisis. Something may get lost in translation, so we must assume this condensed form is still able to address it.
(2) Emotional crises almost always raise important moral questions, but we donβt know if Coletteβs books are the exception. We must assume her books actually do raise these questions.
(3) If the above assumptions are true and Coletteβs books raise important moral questions, we must assume the books are not indifferent to them. Itβs possible to raise a moral question without caring about it, so the author must assume this to be true.
