Online Discussion:5 The Four Psychological Functions of Great Literature



“Writers open our hearts and minds, and give us maps to our own selves.”  - Maria Popova

According to her,

1 Literature Saves You Time!

2 It makes you Nicer!

3 It’s cure for loneliness!

4 It prepares you for failure!

I agree with all the above four, literature truly does this. It saves your time with give you rang of different era, different cultures, languages etc. It makes one nicer with introducing evil and good both the sides and its ultimate goal not to moralize one but it functions such a way that it conveys eventually humanity to mankind. It works as medicine for one who believes in it and cure from the wounds which are not physical but internal. It teaches that failure is not the ultimate destination; you still can rise for your goals. It also develops one’s critical approach. It gives eternal peace of mind and heart.
Most probable function of literature I think is, it absorbs human psyche in each way and reflect it better with more truthful way.

Thank You.
