Analysing Socio- Cultural Dimensions in Building Literature And Society

Abstract

The usual definition of literature emphasises that literature has always played a vital role in changing the conventions and norms of society. History tells us that literary works can influence the minds of people to such an extent that the rules which have been established strongly can also be broken.

Literature, which may be in the form of prose or poetry, it may be a story or a song, it may be in any form, or it may be in any language that people can read and understand. There is always one thing common—it is always a reflection of the society. It talks and presents a picture of the world all around. It may be beautiful, it may be ugly, it may be true, or it may be imaginative. It acts as the mirror of society and moulds its actions and influences them strongly.
