00William E. Gladstone, the great statesman of 00, once remarked in a speech that “selfishness is the greatest curse of the human race.” This selfishness, a terrible and destructive force of the human nature, is a central theme in both the 01u00Shining Houses02u00 by Alice Munro and 01u00The Winner02u00 by Barbara Kimenye. 01u00The Shining Houses02u00 is story about a neighborhood in a fictionalized western city that is trying to eradicate an elderly occupant simply because her property doesn’t meet their standards. 01u00The Winner02u00, on the other hand, talks about an elderly man in 010200 winning the football lottery and the consequences that comes with it.00 00Although 01u00The Shining Houses02u00 and 01u00The Winner02u00 uses two very different settings, both emphasize the universal quality of the selfishness that exist in humans. Selfishness is universal because it exists in all types of people, can be destructive in many different ways, and encounters many different kinds of resistance. 0-
