Moral values in literature

          Morals in literary works usually reflect truth values according to the author's view and,that is what it is delivered to the reader...In addition. Morals of the autor deliberately delivers about various things related to life issues,such as attitude,behavior and sociablem manners.

          Literary value does not include the values expressed or implied in a text but refers specifically to how one can attribute of it's value to 'civil,sation,'a culture a society,or a particular group of people. literature is an important means of worldmaking, of making sense of our lives and of reflecting,reinforcing but also construction the norms and values ar live by.

Moral value :

          Literature had moral value if reading it gives occasion to learn a lesson.if a story or poem TEACHES us how to live,or attempts to teach us. then it has a moral dimension is the work still valuable if we do not like the lesson it teacher? Perhaps so the best readers will see the moral value of a work even it the morals it endorses are somehow distasteful to them moral value is a dangerous value to measure .the history of censorship for instance,is based on the idea that if a work teaches the "worng"thing ,it should not be read at all. This idea goes all the way back to Plato,one of the earliest philosophy s to explore the moral dimension of Stories and moral dimension of Stories and poetry. We have to be careful. I think not to hold moral value as the most important one if we reduce storyor poem ti a moral lesson,or require that a story or poem BE a moral lesson that we can endorse,then we are USING literature to back up our own beliefs. To avoid this mistake,we must learn to appreciate works of literature for it's various kinds of value."to appreciate means,to measure the value of something ,and we work if we are inclined to reject it simply because we think it teaches the wrong lesson. Here is where ethical value comes  into play.

Ethical value :

              Literature had ethical value if reading it gives occasion to think about ethical questions. If a story dramatizes conflicts and dilemmas,it is not necessarily teaching us how to live,but it cncorages us to contemplate the codes that the character live by. If a poem has a speaker who promotes a particular world view or seems conflited about the world he lives in the reader can try to look through the eyes of that speaker and see what he or she sees.we may not agree with a speaker s or character' morality,but seeing that morality in action can shed light on what it means or how it changes the world .if we reflect on a moral code instead of simply rejecting it or embracing it.then we are thinking ethically and literature that promotes such thinking is ethically valuebke. Here are some important ethical questions.What is the good life? What is the excellent life ? Where do the definition af good and excellent come from? Why do different definition come into conflict? On what basis do they confict ? Remember works that raise questions do not always answer them . To measure the ethical value of a work of literature,we need to ask the following questions.

1 : Do the characters make choices in the work ? What are those choices ?.

Literature as a moral ..........

              Throughout the history teachings moral values throught stories,poemsor literature had been a very old system of moral aducation. Since the time of panchtantra.Ali baba or Aesop's fables. It was the time eharn teaching of the Stories was presmed in easy way so that we can go through story agian and again.
