LITERATURE AND ITS IMPORTANCE
February 5, 2016
'Why Literature is important in our lives'. There are many limitations on the extent of a mans
lifetime experience such as time, geography and point of view. Literature serves as a method of
transcending such barriers.
Literature is derived from the latin term littera which means letter, any printed matter written in a
book, a magazine, or a pamphlet, a faithfull reprduction of man's manifold experiences blended in to
harmonious expression.
Literature is very implortant today because it enable the people to know the history of a nation's
spirit, people must read its literature. To understand the real spirit of a nation, one must trace the little
rills as they course along down the ages, broadening and deepening into the great ocean of thought
which men at the present source are presently exploring. it also enable to express of one's feelings
according to him, may be through love, sorrow, happiness, hatred, anger, contempt or revenge.
Literature is one way for us to hear the voices of the past and work with the present. it is the
way for the present to connect to the possible future. we learn about history we didn't experience. the
customs we are not familiar with or that read to what we do now, it unlocks the culture of the time
period, and in a way can give wisdom to the modern society about life, allow us to to interprete our
own life and emotions and we find ways to relate to the story so we in turn can reflect.
Literature is the most invisible with the five senses and the most visible with feelings,
Literature is always realistic, it is about life. it is life when we get involved in it
even it is legendary, unbelievable, and whatever it talks about, it is life because it is created and
produced by people from their life.
When we hear the world literature it reminds us stories, epics, sacred scriptures and classical works
of the ancient and modern times. Basically literature is defined as the collection of written work of
language through different periods and different cultures by authors and scholars. The advent of
writing marked a great step in human civilization for many reasons such as transmitting knowledge,
ideas, events and even feelings. There are many limitations on the extent of a man's lifetime
experience such as time, geography and point of view. Literature serves as a method of transcending
such barriers. When we read the historic work of the Greek poet Homer who was the author of the
ancient Greek epic Poems, the lliad and the Odyssey, we get to know about many things such as the
socioeconomic and cultural background of the ancient places such as Troy, Ithaca and Sparta etc.
Thus Literature helps us transcend the time and social barriers.
Through observing on the works of literature the audience can get an insight of the human beings
and the society because, works of literature convey emotions, experiences and psychological
explanations of human behaviors .It is hard to imagine how Anne Frank and her family hid from the
Nazi soldiers. Ann Frank's Diary reveals much information about the harsh experiences that she and
her family went through during their stay at the Netherlands in Anne's father's office building. Also
when we read Ann Frank's Diary we get to know her dreams and aspirations even though she died at
a very young age (15) at the Bergen Belsen concentration camp in Germany on March 1945.
When we focus on the human conscience we can never forget William Shakespeare's great tragedy
Macbeth. The play gives us a psychoanalytical explanation of the main character Macbeth who is
driven and deceived by the over ambition. Through Literary techniques like soliloquies and asides
Shakespeare shows how Macbeth is ambitious to get the kingship. Before Macbeth assassinates King
Duncan he sees an air drawn dagger which is created by his own imagination. "Is this a dagger which
I see before me, the handle toward my hand?"(Macbeth, 2.1) Macbeth vacillates to take a decision
and it confuses him to see hallucinations. Thus Shakespeare uses the power of language and iterature
to.
