literary form

Literary form refers to the structure and style of a written work, shaping how it communicates its message. It includes elements like genre (e.g., poetry, novel, essay), organization (e.g., chapters, stanzas), and literary devices (e.g., metaphor, symbolism). Each form has unique conventions that influence the reader's experience and interpretation. Understanding literary form helps readers appreciate the author's choices and enhances their engagement with the text, allowing for a deeper connection with the themes and emotions conveyed.
