The pessimistic opinion would have looked at it as imaginative realm that cannot be studied at all. Literature can only be enjoyed for it tends to offer subjective element rather than objective one. Yet, the rest are more optimistic tovalue literature as a kind of knowledge then can be studied objectively. Ithas its medium language which is materially systematic. Therefore,literature is broadly applicable knowledge which is both subjective andrealistic. Literature consists of three genres, namely poetry, drama, and prose. Poetry is meaningful arrangement of words. Drama is a story which isintended to be performed on the stage. Prose is fictitious narrative kindof writing. They have much in common but different in expressing idea,style and others. Henry (1995:2) classify prose into two,fiction and non-fiction prose.
