Morality tales often stipulate simple black and white rules to indoctrinate children to form "good" behaviors. Often such behavior rule coding is based on a simplified version of a "just universe" assumption. Good behavior gets good results and benefits all parties, vice-versa. Yet literature creates a world of reality where the dual forces of system complexity and information chaos often render individual's action yielding confounding results. Human behavior biases and hubris amplify the confusion; there is often no simple "lesson" to be learned from past history.
Literature offers us the privileged viewpoint to step into other's lives, observing their thrusts in the flow of events. We learn that lives are complicated and easy answers are often the wrong ones.
