Abstract

Possible reasons for the high readability and popularity of this genres are also found in the socio-psychological aspects from which two basic functions of trivial literature in general arise – its entertaining function and escapism, within which the audience explores its suppressed insides, its desires, which are then consumed by the trivial text imaginatively fulfilling. If the act of reading popular literary genres is at the same time an act of resistance to everyday life, but also a space of the inner freedom of the modern individual, the popularity of genres of popular literature is beyond question.

Keywords
