THE ROLE OF LITERATURE AND FAMOUS FIGURES IN SHAPING COMMON IDIOMS

Abstract

Expressions that convey meanings distinct from the literal meanings of the words they include are known as phrases. Many of these colloquial idioms have literary roots, and their evolution has been greatly influenced by a number of well-known writers and historical personalities. In order to express concepts more vividly, these authors frequently employed idioms in their writings; as a result, these expressions have permeated common speech. The impact of literature and famous people on the development and evolution of common idioms is examined in this article.
