Answer:

Our Town is considered a universal work of literature because

C) The theme of Our Town transcends time and location.

Explanation:

"Our Town" is a play by Thornton Wilder. It tells the story of Emily and George, daughter and son of two of the main families in the fictional town of Grover's Corners. The story begins in 1901 and covers a part of Emily and George's childhood. The two of them get married but Emily dies at childbirth. The lesson learned by Emily after her death is that the living have very little understanding of life and death, and are incapable of seizing and enjoying the moment.

The theme above is universal. Life and death, childhood and maturity, a deeper understanding of life and love, it can all revolve around characters who live anywhere in the world at any time period. It is not exclusive of certain people, countries, or cultures. Even if we did not know anything about the play, we could infer the answer due to the explanation offered in the question. Aristotle said literature indicates what is true for all times and ages. We were told to read Aristotle's saying before choosing an answer. Therefore, we can safely conclude the best option is C) The theme of Our Town transcends time and location.

In “The Prologue” to The Canterbury Tales Chaucer says the Knight “was a true, a perfect gentle-knight” (line 72). The Knight’s
Sphinxa [80]

<em>The Canterbury Tales</em> was written in Medieval times. Because of this, the text is greatly preoccupied with the subject of chivalry. Therefore, the texts talks extensively about knights, squires and fair maidens.

An example of this is the knight that appears in the prologue. We learn that this knight is the perfect example of an ideal gentleman. He is brave, humble, constant and honest. He does not fear anything, and is honorable and virtuous. He is also the father of the squire.

The squire is the knight's son, and he is also an admirable character. He is somewhat brave and honourable. However, Chaucer makes it clear that the character of the squire is not comparable to that of the knight. While the knight possesses all the chivalrous qualities fully, the squire is only beginning to learn them.

Both characters share similar motivations. They both want to achieve honour and glory. They also want to fulfill their duty towards others, and be thought of as capable and brave. However, the squire is more hesitant to put himself in danger. Moreover, while the knight is humble, the squire is concerned with wealth and beauty. This shows that although the squire is learning a lot in order to become like the knight, he is still not able to achieve the level of a knight when it comes to humility and bravery.
