Abstract: The proliferation of digital media in our educational practices has made knowledge accessible to students, who obtain it from diverse sources other than the traditional source, which is the teacher. They engage with it based on their aesthetic conditions rather than the teacher's scientific and ethical conditions, finding pleasure and happiness in digital reception that they did not find in their teachers' in-person lectures. This has posed an educational problem that calls for a pedagogical reconsideration of the act of teaching and its content. This research has chosen to focus descriptively and analytically on demonstrating that motivation (or incentive) is a factor that can enhance students' desire for the teacher's lessons. Since motivation is a force that drives its possessor to achieve their goals, it is certain that when a student is aroused with cognitive desire and possesses intrinsic or extrinsic motivation, they engage in learning with all their effort and achieve their goal. In this context, the research proposes the reading of literary texts as a means to motivate students to learn humanities subjects.
