Fundamentally, it needs to have general interests of people.It is a piece of language expressed orally or in writting that offers the writer's feeling, thoughts,impressions etc.on rhe subhect aiming at permanence.In the specialised sense,it is concerned with indicidual response or the actuallity.Goethe remarked,"The declime of literature indicares the decline of nation."
RJ Lees viewed that literature should encompass originality,craftmanship,moral consiousness,and psycological truth as Shakespeare wrote in 'Hamlet'-"It should hold mirror up to nature." Its function must be objective in that the speaker's own prejudices and sectarian ideas should not interfare with the truth.It picturizes an imaginative world and life and enriches conciousness of the readers who admire a work in terms of how it resembles actuality.It refines sensibility,cools down the battles of life and provides escape from grim and glommy reality.
