Literature is the reflection of life. At very early stages it is taught that literature is mirror of life. So what does it really mean? How it mirrors life? Why is it so important to study it? Firstly, literature is the study of human behaviour.Now it varies from person to person as everyone has his/her own perception concerning life. Some Writers think it deals with mind. or how mind effects the body.For example C. G. Jung,Freud and Lacan. Others think it depends on society —how society moulds the human behaviour.For example the writers of post World Wars turned their focus towards nothingness, meaninglessness and absurdity of life. It is because after so much brutal killings they started thinking about the existence of man and God.They even questioned the identity of God.They were of the view that whether God is careless or he is not present because so much destruction of humans by humans was something that could not be burried with silence.So this gave a way to philosophy of Absurdism.The works of Albert Camus(The myth of Sisyphus), Samuel Beckett(Waiting for Godot) and other works of other renowned writers focus on absurdist tendencies of life. Philosophy of Optimism by Robert Browning and pessimistic view of life by the likes of Thomas Hardy, all depict the ever changing human behavior in this uncertain and unreliable world.
