For example, novels by famous French writer Honor\u00e9 de Balzac like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Shagreen Leather<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lost Illusions<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> teach us to trust people and be reliable to your friends and acquaintances. Arthur Miller\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Death of a Salesma<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">n teaches us to differentiate between valuable and invaluable work and F. Scott Fitzgerald\u2019s unfinished novel <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Last Tycoon<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> teaches us to not replace love and family with work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It also gives us the answers to difficult questions that require deep philosophical judgment. You can find the answer to \u201cwhat is the meaning of the life?\u201d in Albert Camus\u2019 <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Stranger<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or Fyodor Dostoevsky\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sparknotes.com\/lit\/crime\/\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Crime and Punishment<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stories like William Shakespeare\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Romeo and Juliet<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Margaret Mitchell\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gone With The Wind<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0and Emily Bronte\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wuthering Heights<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> also teaches us to love even when you feel like the world is against you. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Uncle Tom&#8217;s Cabin<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by Harriet Beecher Stowe proves that it is impossible to classify people under only bad or good. Classics like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Old Man and The Sea<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by Ernest Hemingway gives us the perfect examples of resilience and bravery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Classical literature can also teach history, so you don\u2019t have to constantly pursue heaps of encyclopedias and history textbooks. If you want to learn about the Russian-French War of 1812, it would be better if you read <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">War and Peace<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by Leo Tolstoy which is regarded as a central work of world literature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, how does classic literature make our lives better?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Literature, especially the classics, assists people with managing many personal and social problems. The greatest writers have written \u201cabout us\u201d and \u201cfor us.\u201d \u00a0Indeed, it is a huge consolation for humans when the book not only describes sufferings and general problems, but also gives answers to guide us in our difficulties.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I believe classic literature can teach a person to have important, eternal, moral and intellectual qualities.
