Literature

Literature is a body of written works that encompass a wide range of human expression and creativity. It includes various forms such as poetry, prose, drama, and essays, reflecting themes of culture, society, and individual experience. Literature is often characterized by its use of language to convey complex ideas and emotions, employing literary devices like metaphor, imagery, and symbolism. It serves multiple purposes, including entertainment, education, and the exploration of philosophical and moral questions. Literature can be classified into genres—such as fiction, non-fiction, historical, and fantasy—and can be both fictional or based on real events. It is a significant aspect of human culture and has a profound impact on social consciousness and personal reflection.
