Theory of Literature describes various aspects of a Wellek and Warren (1964: 94) states “literature is said to be creative, an art”. So it is clear that literature is a creation of an author made into the beauty of art writing. Wellek and Warren divide analysis of literature based on two approaches: extrinsic, relating to factors outside a work such as the author and society, and intrinsic, relating to factors within such as the intrinsic elements of a work as the best way to truly understand it.
Literature has three genres, namely prose, poetry and drama. Prose is a fictitious narrative kind of writing. In general, this is called novel. Poetry is meaningful arrangement of words.
