There are several types of literature, including fiction, nonfiction, poetry, drama, and prose. Fiction encompasses storytelling through novels, short stories, and plays, while nonfiction explores real-life events and information through essays, biographies, and journalism. Poetry uses verse, rhythm, and imagery to convey emotions and ideas in a condensed form, while drama presents stories through dialogue and action meant to be performed on stage. Prose is the most common form of writing and includes both fiction and nonfiction that is written in a regular, straightforward manner. Each type of literature has its own unique style and structure, catering to different preferences and purposes.
