Impact of Literature on Human Behaviour

Literature is the study of human nature. We see human nature through tragedy & romance, joy & sorrow, in epiphanies & denial, in moments of heroism & in moments of cowardice. Literature teaches us to analyse a character allows us to reach inside his/her mind to see, so as to see what drives a character, what shapes his/her beliefs & how one relates to other. Literature can help us examine the past & predict the future by analyzing characters & evaluating their action.

Literature is the finest expression of contemporary feelings. Those who understand literature can learn from it, the most about the thought of the period. Man's attitude to things, his ethical valuation & his emotional preferences are carried over into the direct expression in the literary productions. Literature is a sort of seismograph that registers the slightest deviations from an existing intellectual point of rest. In Literature the spirit of age gains embodiment & shape & that man of truly sensitive perception can deduce the whole intellectual life of a period from its Literature, as some natural healers profess to read the whole state of body in the eyes.

Spenser, the greatest poet of that age, says of his greatest work The Fairy Queen that its aim is to fashion a gentleman or noble person in virtuous & noble discipline. The didactic tendency aimed at him has only aristocratic world in view.

Literature is thought provoking, it allows us to raise question & give us a deeper understanding of issues & situation. Literature allows its readers to grasp the meaning of human conflict.

In an era of modern media, such as television & movies, people are misled in to thinking that every question or problem has its quick answer or solution. Literature confirms the real complexity of human experience. Literature provides insight into the minds of other human beings, into the mind of author and the minds of character he/she brings to life. Students also recognized Literature's role in influencing human thought. The youth should be educated in the great ideas of not only its own culture & time, but other cultures & times as well.

Today's youth realizes the true depth of human emotion & behavior. They understand that there is more to a person than what they display on the exterior. Literature also allows us to question some of our prominent beliefs & examine our lives, giving them deeper meaning. Literature is said to be the mirror of a person's behaviour.

Impact of Literature influences human behavior that's the reason why schools & colleges opt Literature as a subject. But some students find Literature very tough to learn, as it is a deep subject. To understand this subject deeply, they need a proper guide, who should be available both online & offline. There are some websites, in which you will find online tutors as well as reference books for E.g. www.literaturetutor.webs.com & www.schoolsuccess.webs.com .

Role of Chaucer in English Literature

Geoffrey Chaucer is remembered as the author of The Canterbury Tales, which ranks as one of the greatest epic works of world Literature. Chaucer made a crucial contribution to English Literature in using English at a time when much court poetry was still written in Anglo Norman or Latin. Chaucer is sometimes considered the source of English Vernacular tradition & the ‘father of modern English Literature'. His achievement for the language can be seen as a part of general historical trend towards the creation of Vernacular Literature. 

                       Chaucer's first major work, The Book of the Duchess was an elegy for Blanche of Lancaster. Two other early works by Chaucer were Anelide & Arcite & The House Fame. His Parlement of Foules, The Legend of Good Women & Troilus & Criseyde all date from the time Chaucer is best known as the writer of The Canterbury Tales which is a collection of Stories told by Fictional pilgrims on the road to the cathedral at Canterbury, the tales would help to shape English Literature.

                       Chaucer also translated some important works. He wrote The Canterbury Tales in the Vernacular of the English people. Geoffrey Chaucer is often credited with being the Father of English Literature.

                       During Chaucer's life time, most literary works were written in French; in fact Chaucer himself wrote in French & Italian; certainly his poetry was modeled up on French poetry. However, he chose to write in the old English that was popular with those who were not necessarily among the nobility. In addition, his stories have a humor & freedom that anticipated the works of such English greats as Henry Fielding.

                        He introduced iambic pentameter into poetry, a meter that many a reader recognizes as that of William Shakespeare & is prevalent in much of English & American poetry.

                          The ideas of Chaucer's development of characterization & large depiction of motivators of characters in his work become critical elements in English Literature after Chaucer. The motion of creating multi dimensional character is powerful elements in the landmarks of Chaucer's English Literature.
