Literature

Literature is the body of written or spoken works that express ideas, emotions, stories, and cultural reflections, encompassing a variety of forms, genres, and styles. It includes fiction and non-fiction, poetry, drama, and essays, and can be presented through various mediums, such as print, oral tradition, and digital formats. Literature often explores universal themes such as love, conflict, identity, and the human experience, offering insights into different cultures and societies. It serves both aesthetic purposes—delighting and engaging readers through language and narrative—and practical functions, such as preserving history and prompting social change. The study of literature often involves analysis of its artistic structure, themes, and context, as well as its impact on individuals and society.
