What was the difference between the life in the novel and the real world?

Fictions and life are two different concepts. Fictions are a fictional art form that aims to convey the author's thoughts and emotions by depicting characters, plots, and scenes. On the other hand, real society was a real world composed of humans with its own unique laws and characteristics. Although novels were a fictional art form, they restored as much of life as possible. The life in the novel referred to the lifestyle, values, and social background of the characters and scenes depicted in the novel. These details were all derived from the author's imagination, observation, and thinking. They reflected the variety and complexity of real life as much as possible. Compared with the real world, the life depicted in the novel had a certain degree of exaggeration and beautification. This was because the characters and scenes in novels were often based on the author's imagination and ideas rather than real life. In addition, the characters in novels often had richer emotional and psychological descriptions, as well as more free choices and decision-making abilities. Although novels and life were two different concepts, they were connected to a certain extent. The life depicted in the novel provides us with a perspective to observe and think about the real world, and at the same time, it also allows us to have a deeper understanding of the variety and complexity of human beings.
