How can a plague affect society?
Defoe published A Journal of the Plague Year in 1722, just decades after the actual epidemic struck London. Do you think Defoe wanted to create a moving, realistic portrayal of the suffering caused by the plague or did he want to exploit that suffering to provide readers with a sensational, shocking read? Explain your reasons.
