Revolution in literature follows these general guiding principles:
- It displays the hopelessness of the author and/or the masses, and communicates these frustrations on a large scale.
- The literature presents a new power structure, and/or advocates for changing the current power balances.
- It opens up and/or presents a discourse that seeks to understand and examine the ethical implications.
- It offers change that is truly revolutionary, not a product of evolution.
- The literature fosters the progression of growth in its particular cause. The ideas do not simply exist, they continue to spark further change.
