Abstract
Change is a natural phenomenon. Everything we come across changes with time. This change occurs through evolution, a continuous and ever-changing process. Humans’ present form is also the result of evolution. The history of evolution proceeds through various unwanted incidents. One such is the Pandemic that occurs age after age belittling humans and their progress. It brings death, destruction, and enormous devastation for a certain period. Later, humans revive it and come back to their usual selves. Though humans use to forget the impact of epidemics with the flying of time, literary history bears it through its creative artistic works. From ancient times to the present, literature chronicles every incident. The present paper aims to depict the relationship between literary works and the Pandemic. It also attempts to explore various socio-economic facts that people had to undergo during the time of the pandemic. It may also try to present the nature of literary works, and how these texts express the problems of plague victim people, which resulted in physiological and psychological puzzles.
