446Summary:
A paradigm is defined as a set of assumptions, concepts, values, and practices that shape the way a community views reality.Every writer brings their own paradigm to their work. With underlying assumptions about the world, writers incorporate significant concepts and values, often unconsciously. Viewed broadly, a writer's body of work reveals their worldview, highlighting what they consider true, noble, and right.

A paradigm is defined as a set of assumptions, concepts, values, and practices that shape the way a community views reality.Writers approach their work with a specific paradigm that influences their writing. They often unintentionally weave their beliefs and values into their narratives. While not always evident in individual pieces, the entirety of an author's work reveals their core beliefs about truth, nobility, and righteousness.
In writing, this concept is known as context. Authors embed fundamental beliefs throughout their storytelling, whether it involves political philosophy or religious views.
A strong example is "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown. Although fictional, Brown believes much of what he wrote to be true. While some admire his storytelling, others struggle with the underlying context and assumptions.
For writers of faith, core values often surface both deliberately and inadvertently. J.R.R. Tolkien stated that his faith wasn’t the intentional context of his storytelling, yet the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy is rich with Judeo-Christian values, reflecting his beliefs. It’s plausible that a fiction writer cannot completely separate from their internal paradigm.
Most fiction writers don’t aim to proselytize; they simply tell stories where their belief systems naturally emerge. This is expected.
From a historical perspective, examining world events during the publication of classic literature provides insight into an author's context and paradigm.
World events combined with personal responses uniquely influence the writing context. Local, regional, national, or global struggles shape the beliefs and assumptions present in an author’s work.
For serious students of literature, understanding context helps decode the emotions?"be it angst or joy?"that an author experienced while crafting their classics.
