NIU William Morris Useful Work and Useless Toil Essay

 

Fourth Exegetical Paper

In a short paper discuss what William Morris means by useful work and useless toil, and why he thinks the latter is “mere toiling to live, that we may live to toil” (2). Your paper should include an explanation of both of these categories (useful work and useless toil) by citing and explaining specific passages in Morris’s essay. In addition to giving an account of these categories, provide at least one of Morris’s arguments for what can be done to eliminate or reduce useless toil.
