Your Voice, Hugo’s Masterpiece, and Literature’s Moral Dilemmas

English Plus

In this episode of English Plus Podcast, we explore three interconnected themes that challenge us to express ourselves authentically, reflect on timeless literature, and engage with moral dilemmas in new ways.

1. Finding Your Voice: Writing the Way Only You Can
   What does it really mean to find your authorial voice? We discuss how your voice isn’t just about writing—it’s about how you express yourself in all areas of life. We’ll explore how your personality and perspective shape your voice and why finding it matters, even if you’re not a writer.
2. Love, Loss, and a Cathedral: The Heart of The Hunchback of Notre-Dame
   We dive into Victor Hugo’s classic masterpiece, uncovering themes of beauty, belonging, and judgment. What makes Quasimodo and Esmeralda’s story so powerful, and why does this novel still resonate after two centuries?
3. Right, Wrong, and Everything in Between: Morality in Literature
   Finally, we tackle the concept of morality in literature. What happens when characters make decisions that defy easy judgment? From antiheroes to moral ambiguity, literature reminds us that life isn’t always black and white.

Each segment is followed by a vocabulary discussion where we unpack practical words like rhythm, obsession, and compassion. These terms don’t just belong to books—they belong in everyday conversations, helping you articulate thoughts and connect with others more effectively.
