摘要
The cognitive ability helps people understand the world and orient themselves with the general perspective they have in their minds. Young learners who are always in a quest for knowledge are busy awaiting to acquire new life experiences. It can happen throughout the entire span of life. Reading books that will educate their minds can be helping them unconsciously enhance their intellect. Here unintentionally, plays can be considered rendering enlightenment by entertaining them and enriching their minds. Comic relief in the farcical plays tells that life is loaded with possibilities. Hence, one could expect the unexpected. Focus is made on the comedies, which can be sarcastic or mocking but incur lessons. Oscar VVilde's saying, "If you want to tell the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you", is the concept behind the study. Shakespeare is appreciated here as a writer for all ages and also for generations to come. Experience gained through perspectives with which a literary text can be approached is dealt with in the analysis. This proves that literature can enhance the necessary cognitive knowledge in young learners irrespective of their age and understanding capability. Further, the enormous contribution of literature as text in giving knowledge about life and purpose is also discussed.
