Fiction as Literature
Fiction as literature refers to written stories that invent characters, events, and worlds to explore human experiences, emotions, and ideas. While the stories are made-up, they can reveal truths about life, society, and ourselves through imagination and creativity. Fiction includes genres like novels, short stories, and novellas, serving as a reflection of the human condition and offering entertainment, insight, or a new perspective. It’s valued not just for its storytelling but also for its ability to provoke thought and deepen understanding of the world.
