An approach: There is a lot to be learned from an understanding of one's desires, and it may best to look to others for those commonalities; it's often said it's society that shapes an individual's desires, and I'd have to agree. But all is not lost, because this is where you can find yourself, a clearer reflection of one's self.So, if it is the case that society shapes our desires, how do we understand this imposition of interest, or, more importantly, ourselves? These understandings are best given to us by the stories we know, and in particular those parts within which we tend to agree.
What literature grants us is a grand menagerie of desire, and this can also be extend to film and stage productions. The greater our wealth of alternate images, the greater our possibility for a truer idea of self.
