A good piece of literature provides a question, not an answer.
I often quote a lot of movies in my literature class. Many movies have excellent literary qualities. A good example is 'Avengers: Infinity War'.
This work gives the audience fun. At the same time, this work asks the audience 'important questions that we have to worry about right now'. It is a question about 'Population explosion and Environment'.
The scientific community has long argued that the population should be reduced even by radical means as the population grows explosively. Here, Thanos symbolize radical claims, and Captain America symbolize moderate claims.
What the director is dealing with through the battles of astronauts, high-tech, and superpowers is a problem that we must worry about now. Can humanity stop environmental destruction and prevent its annihilation? Is Thanos right or Captain America right? In this way, the director used symbols to translate the debates among scientists into a form that the public can easily understand.
In fact, there have been many works dealing with such themes before. Inferno, The Happening, Snowpiercer, Kingsman: The Secret Service, etc. But they were biased towards either fun or theme, and lost their balance. Avengers: Infinity War maintains the proper balance, however. Both Thanos and Captain America's arguments are persuasive. So, the audience is confused about who is the hero and who is the villain while watching the movie. This is why the movie ends and the debate begins in earnest. The work asks the appropriate questions about the problems we have to worry about. A good piece of literature doesn't give us an answer. It asks us the question we have to worry about, and it makes us start thinking about it. The answers will be found by each of us.
