Society and literature are
interlinked as body and soul, if body is exonerated and soul is not vindicated
it results in decadence. Society and literature have two different eyes but one
target that is to make social sky as peaceful as at night and as bright as in a
day. Literature delineates society as mother portrays her son and society hails
literature as wet land absorbs rain. Literature develops less portrays more. it
is said literature is mirror of society but I think it is is broken mirror that
gives you many sides of the picture but not one perceptible. literature is like
sunshine and society is like a rain bow. Literature converses manners more than
matters. if we look society through literature is alarming but if literature
through society is charming. literature ignites emotions more than reason and
this approach is dangerous most of the time. society weeps through literature
without tears but literature laughs at society with out fears.
All the penetrating and magnanimous features of society are different on the
pragmatic horizon, the flow of love on stream of literature is different than on
quick sand of reality ,the true essence of religion becomes different when
looked in surroundings, patriotism is more in books than in reality, the history
of every country is different than its happenings, life is different on stage
than in action, things are more romanticized in literature than our daily life.
literature is not what it ought to be. Most of time literature speaks through
courts of monarchs. sometime it speaks out through shackles, sometime it is
written under shade of slavery, sometime it vomits prejudice, sometime lust
speaks through words, some time words laugh but lines weep. Literature becomes
more blunt in media than in books. Media works through information not through
confirmation and literature is used like a bare sword.
If the dust of lust from sky of literature, dewdrops of crocodile tears, buzzing
of malevolence flies, music of thralldom chains, smoke of compulsion and tarnish
of discrimination can be extirpated, the land of literature would be as
beautiful as paradise, as colorful as spring and as charming as mother’s love.
Literature is the representative of the ages, it records the best thoughts, the
best melody, the best harmony of its age in a best way. Literature can change
society as love changes hearts. Literature is like a ray of hope in the thorny
desert of sorrows. Literature teaches experiences with emotions. No nation can
be deteriorated whose literature is alive. if you want to know the
characteristics of a nation study it’s literature. literature is manners and
matters of society, it can modify both with it’s effect. As Shelly has rightly
expressed poets are unacknowledged legislators of mankind.
THE role of language in society is like role of blood in body. Literature is the
only source that keeps language alive in society. literature is language of
society it gives words to those coated emotions, feelings, aspirations and
desires that can not be expressed without literature. Without literature no
history, nonreligious corpus, nonpolitical agenda, no social strings can be
demonstrated. Literature creates unity, nationalism, love, faithfulness,
awareness, consciousness and stability. English would not have been such a
language if Shakespeare, Marlow, Milton, Chaucer are removed from it’s map.
THERE are two types of beauty one is hidden and one is apparent the hidden
beauty can only be expressed through literature. MANY countries of the world
came into being with the role of literature. Literature keeps heroes alive.
Literature gives life to the dead and death to death.
