How Does Literature Help Mold A Better Society?
How does literature help mold a better society?
Literature can help mold a better society by making them open their thoughts and making them realize the wrongs of their said society. Like for example, in Noli Me Tangere, Jose Rizal wrote the piece for the Filipinos to reach an actualization that they are being abused by the Spaniards and that they are also abused because of the authority held by the church. Like in the case of Crispin, a poor sakristan who worked for the church. He was accused of stealing 32 pesos. (Back in the day, 32 pesos amounted high). The result was gruesome, Crispin was killed by the church. The story of Noli Me Tangere lit a fire in the hearts of many Filipinos
