Literature never evolves.

“Literature doesn’t evolve or improve or progress.”

This quote suggests that Frye believed that Literature, unlike science, is already at the best it can be and although other works may be written that are equally as good, or in a different style or genre, than classic literature, it will never be better than those classics. This is particularly emphasised through the fact that while many students still study Shakespeare and Ovid, science that was developed at the same time as both writers is very basic by today's standards, and sometimes wrong. I do agree with this view, as i believe that classic novels will never become out of date or irrelevant to our society, and that although many new novels and literature is written, nothing really new is ever created; it is just the same basic ideas being rewritten in different ways. The rule of three emphasises Frye's point, and the anaphora of 'or' adds further emphasis to the fact that literature can never be improved upon. McCullough's speech, 'the love of learning' has some similarities to Frye's ideas as they both discuss how people view literature and it's impact on society.
