The Role of Literary Theory:

I. Enrichment of Literary Themes

The development of literary theory has contributed to the enrichment and diversification of literary themes. While traditional literary themes mainly focus on character, fate, and value of life, literary theories advocate new themes such as focusing on social reality, individual heart and globalization.

For example, realist literature highlights social class conflicts and human destiny, while postmodernist literature explores the many dilemmas and ideological deconstruction of modern society. This diversity enriches people's understanding and thinking about literary works.

Second, the broadening of literary forms

The development of literary theory has also promoted the broadening and innovation of literary forms. While traditional literary forms mainly include novels, poems, plays, etc., literary theory advocates new forms of expression of works such as essays, miniature novels, and novels.

This broadening of forms makes literature more contemporary and personalized, and gives more creators room to display their talents.

Third, pay attention to artistic skills

The development of literary theory has made literary creation pay more attention to the use of artistic skills. Traditional literature focuses on characterization and plot advancement, while literary theory encourages diversity and innovation in artistic techniques. For example, modernist literature focuses on symbolism and imagery, while postmodernist literature places more emphasis on language play and the breaking down of narrative structure.

This focus on artistic techniques stimulates the creativity of the creators, making the works more artistic and unique.
