Brief Analysis Of Historical Inaccuracy In Literature

Brief Analysis of historical Inaccuracy in Literature Literature is among the most important sources of historical and cultural education it is arguably ofttimes more essential to the public before the prevalence of motion pictures. Hence, the core idea, the depiction of background and in time the most trivial details in literature mickle somehow shape the readers understandings of a person, an ethnicity group, a nation and a form of culture. Therefore, literature has the burden of being historically accurate.In the case of many German tales about anti-Semitism, cultural intolerance and ethnically discrimination against Jews ar explicit. The tales depict Jews as blasphemers, murderers and liars, but the more interesting phenomenon is the fate of all these Jews in the tales, where they are labeled, expelled and executed. If we review the history of Jews during WI, in which they were first compel to wear the Star of David as symbol, then expelled from normal activities and driv en to ghettos, and finally persecuted in concentration amps, we can find the strong similarity between the tales and the reality.Perhaps, part of the motivations behind the Holocaust is the negative understandings or repugnance cultivated with these anti-Semitic tales. In my childhood, watched the movie of Cleopatra and started to consider Octavia as a negative image, despite that Augustus was the great emperor of Rome. Similarly, many German childrens understandings of Jews as villains from the tales would have profound impact on their future. Furthermore, tragic and ruinous events tend to create a deeper negation, which is why literature referring to tragic events should be more cautious regarding historical accuracy.For example, childrens sympathy of the girl in The Girl Who Was Killed by Jews can create considerable hatred against Jews. Likewise, when I saw a review to a book about Battle of Outburst saying that Germans are all murderers because their ancestors were all butch ers, know another hatred against Germans is being cultivated with inaccurate or sloped literature of Vowel.
