Should art (books) attempt to teach the reader something, change their opinion/view, or import some kind of moral into the reader?

>> No.14730388

books should try to show the reader a new perspective on life, that may include a moral or a lesson, or an attempt to change the reader's mind, but it doesn't need to as long as the reader can step outside of himself and experience the world as someone else while reading.

OP here. You are completely and utterly wrong. Art should uplift, ennoble, guide! Without that it is nothing! What good is experiencing the world as a lowly soyr*dditnigger, when you could be earning an honest living on the battlefield of life! This is objective fact. Alas, you were led astray by the lewd picture I conveniently placed! Consider this a lesson, grasshopper.

The quality of discussion here is proof that art, even if designed to uplift and ennoble, can't do anything to improve people or change their worse tendencies.
