Abstract
Upon reading The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, Oedipus the King, The Crying of Lot 49, and Dostoevski's "The Grand Inquisitor on the Nature of Man", I find that a common theme links their ideas together. As the four stories progress, the main characters all receive knowledge which affects their view of their environment and themselves. The process of learning and obtaining knowledge undoubtedly causes a strong impact on each of their lives, especially in terms of their freedom and happiness. From my perspective, however, the nature of this impact becomes ambiguous, with the author's message interpretable in different ways.
