I believe that literature varies from person to person, i personally believe that any story/novel can be seen as literature but some are just better then others. I think when it comes to 'classics' they also depend on a persons point of view. For example, William Shakespeare is seen as a 'classic' writer and all his plays are seen as 'classic' pieces of work however, i believe that maybe it is now time to let other people be well known and studied. Newer writers always seem to be compared to the 'classic' writers and due to this their books don't always get considered as good literature but maybe its time to spread the title and let other writers and genres be considered.
Plus william shakespeare wrote in plays and i don't personaly see that as good literature as it isn't a book its more like a script which doesn't give you much insight and discription like a good book should.

i think you are right the classics are always being brought into the new novelists way, its not fair, as they are pressured into perfroming as well as william skaespeare wtf is that about?? :)
ReplyDeletei agree completely! especially about how other authors should be equally recognised and shakespear should move over! XD
ReplyDeletealthough i do still think a play could still be considered literature :D
yeah i agree that newer authors should be recognised, but i think good plays can be considered good, i mean ur saying lack of description , but i think some plays are written in great detail, and the way the actors perform may even to some be seen as more detail because you're seeing a live performance ...
ReplyDeleteYes, the better Literature can be called 'classic' to set it apart from everything else. Perhaps it is too hard to break the mould on so-called Classics and have some more modern writers in that section. Plays are much better when seen, not read out repeatedly in class :)
ReplyDeleteI Agree With The Face That We Should Stop Focusing On Writers Like Shakespeare And Give New Authors A Chance And The Recognition That The Deserve x
ReplyDeleteBut how do you classify what is good writing? Otherwise a blog could be considered literature. Don't we have to have some way of filtering things?
ReplyDeletei think it depends on the person individualy and what they like but i think a play should be seen and not read in a book after all isn't that why Shakespeare wrote them?
