Judgement can be different depending on standards of the time, for example in old literature, all the actions of where in Beowulf, a dragon was slain and everyone praised him for getting the final blow on the dragon, but if the dragon was in our modern time. Then it would show the opposite that we kill a dragon due to the fact that its the science and technology era, what I like to call it, if we can understand its entire history, studies, interactions and the actual heroes would be scientists in the case of these discoveries rather than the perspective of old literature where "kill anything that isn't human."

I don't think theres such thing as good or bad literature. Good and bad themselves are subjective, and we have biases no matter what we're looking at. With literature, it's easy to have such biases because in a way, it's there for us to interpret but also judge. We choose which characters we identify with or want to support and call them good, but to another person with a different set of values and morals, that same character can be bad. What's good or bad doesn't depend on the actual literature, but how the audience understands and takes in the content.
