Tell me the difference between novels and prose;

The difference between a novel and a prose is usually in the following aspects: 1. Different ways of reading: A novel is a more intense and exciting literary work with a more complicated plot. It usually requires the reader to invest more energy and time into reading. Prose, on the other hand, was more focused on expressing the author's emotions and thoughts. The language was more concise and clear, and often did not require too many words to describe. 2. Different theme and content: novels usually pay more attention to the plot and character description to explore more complex and in-depth topics such as love, friendship, power, fate, etc. Prose, on the other hand, pays more attention to expressing the author's feelings and thoughts. The content is more subjective and free, and it can be more flexible to involve various topics such as nature, life, history, culture, etc. 3. Different forms and styles: novels usually adopt more formal and traditional literary forms such as narration, description, discussion, etc., which emphasize the coordination of language, structure, and artistic conception. Prose, on the other hand, is more flexible. It can adopt various literary forms such as lyric, argumentative, and narrative, but it pays more attention to the fluency and naturalness of the language. The status and influence of literature are different: the novel is a more common and important literary work, which is widely used in literature, art, education and other fields. Prose, on the other hand, was relatively niche and was usually only used in literature, news, advertising, and other fields. Fictions and essays had different reading methods, topics and contents, forms and styles, as well as different literary positions and influences. However, they also had some similarities such as emotional expression, thought transmission and literary beauty.
