| Abstract | ||||
| Illness represents a unique emotional state experienced by the patient, placing them in a complex blend of fear, pain, and anticipation of the future. This intricate emotional experience affects not only the individual but also the wider society. Literature, in its various forms, expresses this impact depending on how the illness manifests—whether as a widespread epidemic, a condition confined to a specific group, or an individual case representing a personal experience. Throughout history and across different societies, literature has addressed such phenomena, particularly during times of epidemics and public health crises. Given its inherent nature of shedding light on social problems and human suffering, literature plays a key role in highlighting various aspects of such crises—whether from an educational perspective aimed at raising awareness, a psychological one that reveals the inner state of the patient, or a social lens that uncovers the broader societal consequences. In this study, we focus on epidemic literature taught in schools, specifically works that address AIDS in Tanzania through a collection of plays studied by students. These plays serve as an educational tool to raise awareness and combat this deadly epidemic, which continues to spread across the African continent | ||||
