THE INTERACTION BETWEEN LITERATURE, LANGUAGE, AND SOCIETY: EXPLORING THE INTERWOVEN DYNAMICS
Description
Abstract : Tales, epics, holy texts, and classical writings from both the ancient and current eras are all echoes in literature. A body of literary works belonging to a certain language, time period, or cultural background is called literature. Literature is more than just a record of events; it enriches life. In literary reading, the reader and the text are constantly involved in a two-way street that takes place in a particular location and at a given moment. As a reflection of society in writing, literature and society are inseparable. On occasion, both literature and society may serve as sources of inspiration and even mutual influences. As literature tends to the language tree, it reveals the nuanced beauty and complexity of a language rather than its spoken idiom. There is a common belief that language is analogous to life. The acquisition of linguistic competence occurs simultaneously with the maturation of the mind and the body. As a result of these ongoing transformations, language is really a living, breathing thing. There is a natural progression through its evolution. Keywords: Literature, Language, Communication, Culture, Beliefs, Values, Human Nature, Traditions, Society. Introduction : Literature enriches reality rather than just describing it, according to C. S. Lewis. According to Holmer (1976, p. 28), it "irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become" by enriching the abilities that are important for everyday existence. To put it simply, this is the best way to characterise the value of literature. Tales, epics, holy texts, and classical writings from both the ancient and current eras are all echoes in literature. The term "literature" refers to the canon of written works created by experts in a certain subject and written in a particular language or culture. Literature is more than just a record of events; it enriches life. In literary reading, the reader and the text are constantly involved in a two-way street that takes place in a particular location and at a given moment. The reader and the text are both transformed by such a dynamic relationship. So, looking at it from this angle, literature may take many forms, even if its only objective is to alter. A society's dominant thought patterns and social mores are reflected in its literary works. They represent the many aspects of an average person's life. Reading good literature is like fuel for the brain; it keeps creative juices flowing. Providing someone with the best possible education is the same as exposing them to great literary works. The other side is that people miss out on personal development opportunities when they don't read literature...........

Conclusion : Literature has the power to reveal the beliefs and behaviours of the masses. It gives people the ability to ask questions, initiate conversations, and look for answers, even if there isn't a single correct response. Literature provides a useful lens through which readers may compare and contrast real-life people, places, and things with fictional ones. Literature, in that way, mirrors society. People in a group tend to have similar suspicions, convictions, position, beliefs, fantasies, religion, and so on; this suggests that society supports the culture and customs of the people it represents. Not only does literature represent major themes like historical political and social realities, but it also portrays ambiguous topics like detachment, digestion, and change in the public realm when it is integrated with culture and other actual and conceptual parts of society. People in a specific group tend to have common assumptions, beliefs, caste, creed, mythologies, religion, etc., and society seems to support the culture and tradition of the people it portrays. Not only does literature represent tangible concerns like historical, political, and social truths, but it also portrays intangible topics like alienation, assimilation, and societal evolution when it is intertwined with culture and other aspects of society, both tangible and abstract.
