Can Fiction Give Us A Better Understanding Of Our Lives?

    I don't think so... Fiction is kind of like a fairytale world, where everything we wished happened in that world, would happen in reality. Fiction sometimes over dramatizes reality, making it seem unreal. It's not reality. ALTHOUGH, fiction could be based on reality. If you are reading a fictional book and you think to yourself that whatever was happening in that book happened to you or someone you know as well, but just a little over dramatized. When fiction is based on reality, I think it could give us a better understanding of our lives.
