Ch 33

What does it say about fiction?/How does it relate to Ch 14?

-fiction=life

it does more than life itself can show

-want something new that still connects with reality

-Fiction as an augmented reality

"It is with fiction as with religion: it should present another world, and yet one to which we feel the tie" pg 218

-people in a fiction- must be different than those in the real world

-inconsistency of characters in the book

-inconsistencies of deception and life.

"...proprieties will not allow people to act themselves with that unreserve permitted to the stage; so in books of fiction, they look not only for more entertainment but, at bottom, even more for reality, more than real life itself can show" pg 217
