THE MANIPULATION OF HUMAN FEELINGS AND THE TALE EXPLORES EMOTIONAL NEGLECT.

Abstract

This study looks at how writers depict emotional detachment, neglect, and the exploitative use of human emotions in literary narratives. Social realities have long been reflected in literature, and the portrayal of emotional coldness frequently functions as a critique of power imbalance, social injustice, and moral decay. Authors show how emotional exploitation impacts people and relationships, resulting in alienation, identity loss, and ethical degradation, through narrative devices like characterization, symbolism, and conflict. This study aims to analyze the causes and consequences of emotional indifference in literary texts and to demonstrate how these themes encourage readers to reflect on empathy, responsibility, and human values. By exploring these issues, the research highlights literature’s role in exposing emotional injustice and advocating for greater emotional awareness in society.
