Worldview in Literature

A worldview is the idea or perspective one has on the world and how it affects them on a daily basis. When you look at a worldview in literate, you have to look at the tone of the author and how they feel about the topics at hand. I believe the tone comes out of the author's personal experineces and those experineces have influence on what they write in their stories. You must look at the point they are trying to convey through their agrument. It will show what they truly think about a point and not just what the culture thinks about the topic. I believe it is easy to see a worldview through the word choice in a piece and what genre or common topics the author writes about. Ultimately, the tone reflects the autor's worldview.
