Greed texts (1 Viewer)

[aricho]

Hey
i was wondering what you guys think of as key texts over the last 2000 years that i'llustrate greed at the time?

so e.g. the bible shows something, but then i have nothing between then and shakespeare....

yeah so if you guys know any texts beteen say 1AD and 1900AD that would be great

they could be novels, plays, historical events, paintings anything that i can respond to.
thanks

I can't think of a specific one, but I'm sure there's a Shakespeare play you could investigate for the idea of greed. They'd like it because it'd seem sophisticated.
