People have a very confined and limited view of Literature. The general interpretation of literature is the writings which are valued and seen as work of art, especially fiction, drama and poetry. However Literature is something very close to Life. In the words of George Eliot 'It is a mode of amplifying experience and extending our contact with our fellowmen beyond the bounds of our personal lot'. Literature is the interpretation of life itself thus Literature is intimately related to life. It does not exist in vacuum, it breathes as life breathes.

Complexities of life produce variety of themes to the literary brains. The creative works of art in the fields of prose poetry and drama are produced when permanent values of life seek a blend with aesthetic excellence and artistic mastery which means that the literature is universal and implacable to all ages and touches all the populace.
It is literature that makes life beautiful and the fact is that Literature has described the softer side of the human behavior. It is the only source through which human beings have been ventilating and vocalizing themselves. It is not always happiness or sadness, we have been expressing all thoughts that come across our mind be it absurd or sane, for centuries now. Literature gives us a clear and beautiful understanding of life.After giving 4 years of my life to literature I can say it confidently that literature is an integral part of our lives
