Harnessing Literary Narratives for Educational Resilience and Emotional Growth: A Study of Orpheus and Eurydice
Abstract
This chapter discusses how natural and man-made disasters, crises and traumas encountered in human life are reflected through literature and the importance of literature in teaching resilience in this context. Mythology, as a field of literature, aims to provide readers with creative problem-solving skills by presenting characters coping with personal and social traumas. Nazlı Eray's Orphée, as a modern reinterpretation of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, offers a rich resource that can be used to teach emotional and cultural resilience while addressing themes of love, death and loss. The chapter examines the impact of literature on the individual and society, and suggests new approaches to teaching resilience and emotional growth in particular. It highlights how literary narratives can be effective in building emotional resilience in students through methods such as classroom discussions and bibliotherapy.
