I disagree with the second one entirely that Whitman is boring. He’s only boring if you don’t have a soul.
And where is Shakespeare in the first one? If anyone belongs in the center, it’s him!

I disagree with the second one with anyone being both boring and exciting at the same time.
And nobody can be funny and sad at the same time? Wasn’t that the whole point of everything Mark Twain ever wrote?
These graphs are both pretty clumsy.

Milton is simply classified as boring? I wonder what kind of shallow life a person leads where all literature can be put under those four categories. And how is Hemingway boring? I can’t think of a more to-the-point author.
