Pragmatic influence Of Fiction On Life?
Art is often called as a field which serves only aesthetic purpose. Non-fiction does affect us directly because it deals with the practical and realistic approach of life. Fiction is said to have no practical purpose served with the focus on imaginary things which can be denounced as "lies"
But this can't completely or partially downgrade the value of fiction which beats non-fiction without unease. The reason for this popularity might be the escapism offered by these texts to break-free from the real world into something desirable, thrilling or haunting.
When we think about the practical learning from a fictitious work we prima facie don't find a relevant thought to support fiction but when we muse about the contribution of fiction, myriad merits of it come out which does seriously impact our lives.
Fiction encourages us to think beyond the status quo and gives us insight into what might happen if the changes take place and what might be the consequences. It brings into light and harness the unique capability of human beings to imagine. And we are aware that imagination can help us find the solution of some serious problems without undergoing the painful operation of experiencing the worse effects of a ludicrous yet insidious and disastrous incident. The novel such as "1984" and "Brave New World" taught us the negative effects of the scientific advancement and the essence of being human beings about the choice to live.
In practical life, these texts are quoted by lawyers in court regarding the matters of fundamental rights in democracies. The right to privacy and freedom of speech are depicted in the above novels give us idea of how life would be if these are taken away from us.
This proves the merits of fiction to tackle unprecedented issues which are to be faced by us in future. It can be said that fiction gives sharpness to our intuition and broadens our mind beyond the world which we see in our life.
Some characters from our favourite books truly inspire us to a greater degree than real people. After reading "To Kill A Mockingbird", the character of Atticus truly inspires me to do the right thing even if people hate you. Many times, it encourages us to inculcate some decent traits and improves our own character.
All I can say that fiction directly or indirectly plays a significant role in shaping us and perhaps, our society
