    Okay so have you guys ever read any of the following books...

    Animal farm; A Midsummer Night's Dream; or Night

    If yes then please help me answer this question...

    Can you give me an example of how somebody in any one of those books has benefited from learning that somebody they admire or love has a flaw or has committed a fault?

    I have searched these books a few times and have came up with nothing.

    I... may have or have not.
    But I do know that this belongs in the 'Literature' section.

    Now that sounds like the sort of thing people would put in their sig...
    I can't really remember A Midsummer Night's Dream - I think someone decides in it that they're better of without whoever it is they were interested in. Maybe. I guess you could say something about how someone's love is strong enough to continue despite someone's flaws or what they have done.
    As you can tell, i'm not a very lovey sort of person lol.

    when the horse dies?? What horse? And I think steam crashed before you said that.

    edit: oh now I know what you are talking about. But does the horse really know Napoleon's true intentions and his flaws?

    I think he worked the hardest for his the good of the Farm and then the idea is that he got killed as soon as he was no longer useful.

    Yes but how did that benefit him for knowing the wrongdoings of his comrades?

    Look above ^
