Lens Quotation: "Character is what you are in the dark." -Dwight Lyman Moody

Answer 1

Character is what you are in the dark." Dwight Lyman Moody, in this very witty quotation of his, states we act and think differently when we are "in the dark", that is, when the spotlight is not on us and everyone can see us and consequently judge us. When reading, we tend to be sympathetic to some characters and their dilemmas. By being so, we are saying to ourselves that we agree with those characters' acts and choices, even if they are morally questionable if we have common sense in mind.
