At its most basic level, literature is language. Through language, literary texts represent—or rather construct—characters, settings, plots, experiences, feelings, and ideas, and while linguistic knowledge is by no means a prerequisite for the analysis of literature, such knowledge may help the literary critic understand and describe the ways in which meaning is created by linguistic means in literary texts.
