Showcasing national identity in literature involves representing the unique characteristics, values, and experiences that define a particular country or culture. This can be achieved through themes, symbols, language, and cultural references that evoke a sense of belonging or shared heritage among readers. By exploring and preserving national identity in literature, authors contribute to the cultural heritage and collective memory of a nation.
