Answer:

A. Literature needs a more optimistic view of people.

Explanation:

American novelist William Faulkner won the Nobel Prize in literature in 1949 for his novel "Absalom, Absalom!" And in his acceptance speech, he addressed why it is so much of an issue in writing what is positive and how we, as humans, are all so engrossed and taken over by our fear of life's events that no one seems to understand and try to write of more positive things.

He stated that "Our tragedy today is a general and universal physical fear so long sustained by now that we can even bear it." And it is this constant fear that makes it impossible or difficult for any writer to write about things that are of hope or positive thoughts. He emphasized the need to overcome or move beyond this constant thought of fear, and instead write of hope, and not let fear dictate what they write or want to say.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
