The Carpe Diem theme is popular in English literature. Essentially, it means “seize the moment” and it is used by authors to push us towards action. Sometimes, this proposed action can be risky and unwise, and other times, this action can be liberating and fulfilling. Choose two texts that we read this term, one that illustrates potential pitfalls of seizing the moment and one that illustrates its benefits, and explain how the theme is depicted in each text. In your conclusion, explain the significance of the fact that the theme can be used in such different ways.
