    from gender identities and disparities, freedom and democracy, fascism
    and imperialism, colonization and slavery, fundamental human rights,
    morality, religion, politics, and others. One of the strengths of realism is its
    ability to create a sense of familiarity and connection with readers. By
    presenting characters and situations that mirror real-life experiences,
    realist literature invites readers to engage with narratives on a personal
    level.
