What did aesthetics have to do with literature?
Esthetics and literature were both art forms but had different emphases and goals. Esthetics focused on the overall experience of art, including form, color, music, sculpture, painting, etc., while literature focused on language, characters, plot, theme, and other elements. The relationship between aesthetics and literature could be understood from the following aspects: 1 Art form: aesthetics and literature both involve art forms, but their expressions and techniques of expression are different. Esthetics usually focused on the overall artistic experience, while literature focused more on language and character. 2. The theme and plot: The theme and plot of literature are important components of aesthetics. An aesthetic might focus on a particular subject such as love, death, nature, and so on and explore how these subjects can be expressed through art. On the other hand, literature paid more attention to the development of the plot, the shaping of the characters 'personalities, and the rationality and logic of the plot. 3. Reader experience: The goal of aesthetics and literature is to let the reader obtain a certain experience, such as aesthetic enjoyment, emotional touch, etc. The different approaches of aesthetics and literature may bring different reader experiences, but the common goal is to let the reader feel a certain emotion or thought. Although aesthetics and literature have different emphases and goals, they are closely related. Literature could also provide a new way of expression for aesthetics.
