Throughout history, human nature remains unchanged. The world's oldest questions are still being asked. Medea, Oedipus, we're not adding anything that the Greeks didn't already know.
The essence of human nature has remained consistent over the ages, and the fundamental questions that have puzzled humanity for centuries continue to be relevant. Classics like Medea and Oedipus illustrate that the themes explored in these ancient texts are still pertinent to modern society, emphasizing the timelessness of human experience and inquiry.
In Christopher Fowler's "Full Dark House," the observation about these enduring questions reflects a profound understanding of the human condition. The stories and dilemmas presented by the Greeks are not merely historical artifacts; they resonate with current struggles, demonstrating that despite societal changes, our core queries about life endure.
