novels r ppl thoughts, they can drop what they want as they r talking or open up about what they takes from histories, Literature,sciences and everything enters there mind, or fiction, at the end, novels better to read it as a timerest, but not for taking knowledge, and God knows best.
I got your point and maybe we can gain some kind of indirect knowledge, 🙆🏻 for example, Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway is a novel, but it deals with psychology, post-war trauma, social commentary, and philosophical questions about time and self. Also, Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment explores moral philosophy, punishment, guilt, and redemption. All of these are believed to be indirect knowledge, as I remember one of professors once said any indirect lead to direct which is somehow true. 🤷🏻
I feel suspicious of those around me because of novels, as they reveal so many aspects of people's intentions—and perhaps my own, too! I might do something without knowing why, only to be surprised by a character in a book who feels the exact same way. I might see a character and hate them because of the harm they cause others or their behavior, but then I look at myself and see that a part of them resembles me. That's when I realize I was wrong, and that the character I hate also has other elements that could be good. I also might hate a character's actions, only for the true reason behind that action to be revealed later. It's a way of increasing my awareness! I'm so grateful to myself for starting to read when I was twelve. Thank you for your beautiful article!
I believe charecter development is so interesting because it happens to us from the day we are born to the day we die, but we will never be able to fully witness it hapening as it happens, hence charecter development in shows are so peculiar to see because we rarely see it happen in ourselves.
This is a very thoughtful piece! I've always looked at novels as windows through which we could pass to explore and discover others' lives. Novels are enough to provide us with how to deal with certain situations and under certain circumstances. They are not consumed for pure entertainment, but also for education and enlightenment. They can change our perspectives on life and its intricacies, give us opportunities to see the world through the lens of the protagonist, and equip us with valid information molded within their contexts.
