True or false: "every literary era is in part a reaction to previous thought."

:  I would think that this would have to be true, being that a connection of this type could be very broadly interpreted.

I would say each literary period is more of a reflection of the time in which they occur, influenced primarily by the events of that time. There always are some influences that remain from the previous periods, and newly developing styles are most often in reponse to the writing styles of previous eras. There has to be a foundation to build upon.

An inference that can be made is that the princess is bothered about the tiger door. although there are reasons for both this one has a better reason. the princess is not a monster and even if she didn't want to marry this man she wouldn't want him to die. the grudge of death is pretty heavy. unless she has done this before and feels no regret then she wouldn't want to be married to someone of low quality, if he is low quality.
