At its most fundamental level literature explores what it means to be a human being in this world and tries to describe what our human experience is like. As such, literature pushes us to confront the large human questions that have plagued humankind for centuries: issues of fate and free will, issues relating to our role in the universe, our relationship to God, and our relationships with others. Studying literature not only helps us to understand the complexity of these questions intellectually, but because of its very nature, it allows us to experience these tensions vicariously. Literature does not just tell us about human experience; it recreates it in a way we can feel and visualize. In other words, it calls for a total response from us--it stretches us beyond who we are.
First, literature can enhance our ability to relate to people. Because literature focuses on human relationships and self perception, it can broaden our own experience--to help us understand different kinds of people, different cultures, different problems--and, consequently, help us better understand our own relationships with others.
The study of literature also helps to foster an appreciation for beauty, symmetry, and order. This means more than the intuitive response of liking or disliking something we see or read or hear; it means a carefully thought-through response that will enhance appreciation--not destroy it.
