Wallace (1827 – 1905) Essay, Research Paper
Wallace’s mixture of adventure, melodrama,
period language, and accurately-depicted intercultural relations make Beti-Htir
an amazing blend of history and intrigue. Wallace also revels in lengthy
descriptions of ancient architecture and customs. At times these devices
help pull the reader closer to the action, and, at other times, they produce
fatigue.
Ben-Hur chronicles a man’s triumphant rise
not only out of the depths of slavery but also out of the depths of anger.
Perhaps Ben-Hur’s greatest victory came when he ultimately put off vengeance
and chose instead to celebrate love, and to forgive his enemies as Jesus
had taught.
