Show Answers

The importance of precise language use, as demonstrated in his DictionaryThe ideal of comprehensive knowledge, represented by the EncyclopédieThe fundamental impossibility of attaining true happiness, as conveyed in his poem "The Vanity of Human Wishes"The emphasis on independence and survival, illustrated in novels such as Robinson Crusoe

Explanation

Samuel Johnson’s Rasselas primarily explores the theme that genuine happiness is ultimately unattainable, a concept he also develops in his poem "The Vanity of Human Wishes." This contrasts with themes like linguistic precision, universal knowledge, or self-reliance found in other 18th-century works.
