"Literature and Human Beings"


Quote:
“Since the object of literature is the human condition itself, the person who studies id and understands it will become, not a specialist in literary analysis but an expert in being human” (page 31).

I totally agree with this quotation, because Literature expresses human feelings, beliefs, thoughts, ideas, etc. Saying this, I am trying to explain that whatever we read, we are reading a part of that person, the perceptions that she or he has about the world that surround us. These perceptions are influenced by the experiences that every person has in the course of their lives, and as we know, every person has a different experience in life, because we are unique.
We can say that the more we read, the more we learn about people, about the different points of view that people has about everything, even about a tiny ant. These experiences and perceptions that we learn about every time we read something can help us to understand in a different way the world, because we have the possibility to know the experiences of a different person, who has had a different background.
