Indian Society's Reaction to English Novels

Abstract

The written word provides a significant window into the lives of humans, allowing for relationships to be made via the expression of common feelings and desires. In the same way that it has the power to uncover the fundamental characteristics of society via critical reflection, it also plays a key role in the creation of societal norms and values. Literature's influence on contemporary society is incontestable; it serves as a medium through which individuals may express themselves and provides a mirror through which we can gain a deeper understanding of the world in which we live. It depicts humanity and promotes mutual understanding by offering a variety of points of view. Literature maintains the crucial discourse within society, so establishing talks that bridge the gap between individualism and collective understanding. This is particularly important in an era that is characterized by a growing alienation from direct human connection. Throughout this article, the dual function that literature plays in shaping and reflecting societal structures is investigated, with a particular focus on the literature's enduring significance in the development of empathy and collective awareness.
