The Expression of National Values in Literary Works

Overview & Synopsis

Abstract This study explores the expression of national values in literary works and examines how cultural identity is constructed through narrative elements. The research focuses on the analysis of characters, themes, and symbols as the main components that convey national values such as respect, patriotism, family unity, and moral integrity. Using a qualitative textual analysis approach, selected literary texts are analyzed to identify the ways in which cultural meanings are embedded and transmitted. The findings reveal that national values are most effectively expressed through the interaction of literary elements, forming a unified system of cultural representation. Thus, literary works serve as an important tool for maintaining cultural continuity and strengthening national identity.
