dystopian literature

No, "The Shawshank Redemption" is not considered dystopian literature. It is a drama film based on a Stephen King novella that tells the story of hope, friendship, and perseverance in the face of adversity within a prison setting. Dystopian literature typically involves a society characterized by oppression, suffering, or a dysfunctional system.

The novel "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins is often credited with popularizing dystopian literature for young adults. Its success paved the way for other dystopian series such as "Divergent" and "The Maze Runner" to capture the imagination of young readers.
