Consider 'To Kill a Mockingbird'. It is a novel that is also high - quality literary fiction. It explores racism and moral growth in a southern town in a very profound way. The characters are complex and the themes are deeply ingrained in the story. On the other hand, a simple beach - read romance novel is mainly about the relationship between two people, often with a predictable plot. The focus is on the love story itself rather than exploring complex social or human issues like in 'To Kill a Mockingbird'. So, these two examples clearly show the distinction between literary fiction and a more general type of novel.

Sure. 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen is a novel that also falls into the category of literary fiction. It has a well - crafted plot about love and marriage in a particular society, but also has very deep characterizations and explores themes like class and gender. In contrast, a 'Harry Potter' novel is more plot - driven with the focus on the adventures of the wizard boy. While 'Harry Potter' is a great novel, it is not typically considered in the purest sense of literary fiction as it aims more at a mass - market entertainment level rather than in - depth thematic exploration like Austen's work.

Take 'The Great Gatsby' as an example of literary fiction. It is not just about the story of Gatsby and his love for Daisy. It delves deep into the American Dream, wealth, and class differences. The writing style is very refined. Now, compare it to a typical science - fiction adventure novel like 'Star Wars' novelizations. These novels are mainly about the exciting space battles and adventures, with the primary goal of entertaining the reader through action - packed plots rather than exploring complex themes like in 'The Great Gatsby'. So, 'The Great Gatsby' shows the characteristics of literary fiction, while the 'Star Wars' novels show a more typical novel approach.
