Folk Literature both feeds from the society in which it was born and nourishes that society. It weaves together the values ​​and belief elements of the society in order to present the message it wants to give in the most perfect way while addressing the agenda.

Literary genres such as poetry, hymns or stories written with the aim of enlightening the society contain religious concepts. In addition, these concepts are also used when presenting the subjects of daily life or emotions such as joy, sadness or infatuation within the framework of a literary style. At the core of this narrative, which is welcomed by the society, is an emotional expression reinforced by religious terms rather than offering religious advice.

In terms of the History of Religions, religious systems have many common features. One of them is the answers given to people about where they came from and where they are going. In this context, eschatological narratives, which generally express the answers given by religions about the end of the world, death and the life that will begin after, are both sacred for societies and an answer to the human's search for meaning.

Concepts such as death, apocalypse, afterlife, heaven or hell, which form the essence of eschatological narratives, are used as stereotypes in literary works and daily life as well as being a religious subject. The comparison of a crowded environment to the 'Apocalypse Square' or the comparison of a natural wonder to 'heaven' are examples of the use of eschatological concepts.
