Expert Answer

It may be said that great literature embraces ambiguity because it reflects the uncertainty that we face in real-life decisions. The ambiguity effect is a cognitive bias where people choose options with the probability of having favorable outcomes rather than picking options whose favorable outcome is unknown. Literature reflects on the uncertainties in the decision-making process and provides information to inform our decisions.
