PSYCHO-ANALYTICAL ASPECTS IMPACT OF THE PANDEMICS ON WORLD LITERATURE - AN OVERVIEW

Abstract

Literature has often been a mirror to life, whether it's fiction or facts reflected in its content. Even the literature written during the pandemic encapsulates those times' emotions and experiences, mainly emerging as word pictures of the times they portray. To understand the literature's response to the pandemic, we will delve into a few literary writings that became representative of the pandemic spirit that they projected. Indians are immune to the pandemic compared to the rest of the world turns out that the Ancient concepts prevalent in our culture have always influenced the development of knowledge. Literature is redeemed as a reflection of life in the impact of psycho-analytical aspects. It gives us a sort of outline of human behaviour, whether it is from the compositions of old civilizations or the sagas of Homer. The plays of William Shakespeare, crafted by writing give knowledge and setting to the whole world's social orders. In this sense, writing can open up an entirely different domain of encounters as opposed to simply being a verifiable or social relic. Writing is critical to us since it addresses us, it is general, and it influences us on a significantly private level. Amitav Ghosh's “The Calcutta Chromosome” from Indian Literary Text, Albert Camus's “The Plague” from French Literary Text, Ling ma “Severance” in Chinese Literary Text, and Margaret Atwood's “ The Year of the Flood” from Canadian Literary Text analyzed in this paper to observe how literature celebrates the enduring range of human psycho-analytical responses infused with the spirit of resilience and renewal that stand against the onslaught of disease and death while chronicling pandemics throughout history.
