In the vast realm of classic literature, a debate was triggered amongst numerous authors and critics over the portrayal of terrestrial beings in their works. One character, in particular, caused a stir - the capricious bat, adopted by mystery novelist, Edgar Derwent.
His novels, stabilized by his commitment to detail, were renowned. Yet, his latest release, featuring a bat as a pivotal character, was met with discernable doubt. The implausibility of a bat performing such critical acts led to an unexpected division amongst fans and critics.
Critics argued that Edgar's decision to exaggerate the bat's role was a capricious move, destabilizing the credibility of his work. They estimated it to be a rare, and decidedly poor choice. Others, however, found it a refreshing deviation, supporting Edgar's aim to push boundaries.
Among these debates, the most vocal were two politicians, both authors themselves, each with a preference for the unusual. One argued for the classical approach, emphasizing the proportion and stability of characters. The other, a capitalist at heart, argued for the possibility and practical advantages of breaking norms.
In this intense debate, the bat, an insignificant branch-dwelling agent, critically portrayed, became the centerpiece. The outcome? The capriciousness of the literary world, equal parts predictable and implausible.
