After the blunt title, you will be able to guess what this post is about. Below is a link to the post which originally sparked my attention about the issue of whether violence is an appropriate and effective theme to be used to convey meaning in texts. Polly makes some good points about the backlash to the violence in The Hunger Games movie and books. Hopefully, you should be able to see the comment I left on the original post. Generally, I think it is a very effective form of expressing significant--especially ethical--themes in texts. Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut is a classic literary example. Not to mention a brilliant book. :)
