Foster argues that illness in literature serves more purposes than just being a physical ailment. It can reveal deeper insights into a character or further the themes of the overall story. According to Foster, illness was made frightening and mysterious to readers in the past primarily due to a lack of medical understanding. He outlines four principles of using disease in literature: not all are equal, they should be picturesque, mysterious, and offer strong symbolic possibilities. Foster asserts that an illness invented by the author allows for the most flexibility in conveying metaphorical meanings compared to real diseases.Essay tips 1
