Aside from introducing many words, phrases, and expressions into the language, it's as much a question of influencing Western (and human) thought by bringing to life in the words he did the characters he created, and expressing so eloquently and powerfully the dilemmas we all face. His is simply the richest world created by one individual, and by virtue of its coming into being at a particularly propitious time in Western history, it has managed to make all the greater a mark on humankind's moral development (if I can use that term in a philosophical sense).Posted by JTJ on March 23, 1997 at 18:46:04
