A. everyday life and common subjects

Themes of everyday life and common subjects distinguish literature written in the realist era from earlier literature. Realism in literature sought to depict ordinary and everyday experiences, focusing on the lives of ordinary people and the realities of the time. This stands in contrast to earlier literature that often explored more idealized, romanticized, or fantastical themes.
