I strongly believe that is very important to learn literature because the study of literature allows people to develop new ideas and ethical standpoints, and can help people to stand as educated members of society. Studying literature can be something enriching and revealing.

English literature allows us to understand the philosophical movements and ideas that permeated to a particular culture at a particular time. For example, "Frankenstein", by Mary Shelley, shows the ambivalence felt about the British empiricism.

English literature gives us a new way of thinking about the world. For example, Mary Wollstonecraft introduces the idea that women should not have a servile attitude toward men, giving rise to the modern feminist theory.

In conlusion literature is an art form that helps us express: knowledge and feelings of every human being with the help of philosophy, since I gather that philosophy is not learned but simply we think philosophically.
