The basic aim of literature is to realize its readers the experiences of human civilization for the ages. Also, it covers the realization of the experiences of the coexistence of humankind with nature, society and the fellow society. The comparative literature helps to achieve the basic agenda of literature by comparing the different texts of the world.

Nowadays human thinking has been shifted from the traditional one to a new age of realization, which includes the literature indeed. It leads the literature to expose different forms of approaches and dimensions. A comparative study of literature is one of those newly exposed ideas. It is quite relatable that nowadays with the changing time the creative literature has been testing the different recent ideologies or isms.

A comparative study is one, to analyze the texts and narratives of literature by rejecting different isms to understand each of the texts neutrally and independently.
