Moral Values in Literature

               There are so many reasons to study literature but to getting moral is the most important purpose to study literature.  First of all let's we know about moral...

What is Moral ?

               

                 Derived from the Latin term “morālis,” moral means a message conveyed by, or a lesson learned from, a story, a poem, or an event. It is not necessary that the author or the poet has clearly stated it. It can be left for the audiences or the learners to derive. However, at times, moral is clearly stated in the shape of a proverb. So this is the definition of moral. Now let's see which are the moral values...

                       This is the image which shows moral values, excepting these ,there are so many moral values. 

                        

                                    The moral to a story is a universal aspect of the majority of fictional literature that it not only entertains, but also it serves the purpose of instruction, information, and improvement of the audiences. The chorus in the classical drama, for example, commented upon the proceedings and drew out a message for the audience. The novels of Charles Dickens, on the other hand, address the drawbacks of the social and economic system of Victorian Britain, carrying morals of their own type, which are implicit.

                                   In children’s literature, morals are exclusively introduced by the phrase, “The moral of the story is …” Modern story telling does not employ these explicit techniques, but uses irony and other devices to convey it.  Let's glance 

                           Moral values always there in literature. It is given to learn something from literature. According to me after reading any type of literature if you didn't learn anything from it than its only waste of time and energy.  

                         

                        This is about moral values so now let's see example of moral values. There is  one famous short story of Fox and Grapes. We all know about that story. 

                  The Fox and the Grapes (By Aesop)

“Again and again he tried after the tempting morsel, but at last had to give it up, and walked away with his nose in the air, saying: ‘I am sure they are sour.’ “

                                These are the closing lines taken from Aesop’s The Fox and the Grapes. It is through the last statement that the fox expresses its dislike of grapes, which it had tried again and again to grasp. This particular story by Aesop discusses a general habit of the people who cannot admit their defeat. Instead, they pass on the blame to someone or something else. The same is the case with the fox in this story, who fails after several attempts. 

              

                          Same like that , In every form of literature , Moral values are  there. This is  my try to explain moral values . May be you like this concept. Thanks 😊
