This essay is about the function of writing. Through this writing, people could feel the healing process. By putting their painful experiences into words, people became more objective about their problems and were subsequently freed from them. Hermann Hesse was confronted with numerous problems throughout his life. He started writing to solve the problem. In other words, his creative act can be seen as a process of healing his inner conflict. In this study, we examine the healing process of literature using Hesse"s representative poems. Hesse clearly demonstrates the healing process of literature through works such as “The Book”, “The Magic of Colors”, and “Stages”.
