You've read too many novels! What was a novel? What was the difference between a novel and a literary script?

A novel is a literary genre, usually written by an individual author, that uses fictional stories, characters, and plots to convey the author's thoughts and emotions. The novel could be of any genre, including romance, science fiction, horror, history, biography, etc. It could also be long or short. Fictions usually focused on the plot, the development of the characters, and the expression of emotions. Film, television, and literary scripts are all forms of literature, but they are very different in form and content. Film and television literary scripts were usually written by professional screenwriters. They paid attention to the plot and the development of the characters, and expressed the story through means such as camera language and music. On the other hand, novels were more focused on the expression of personal feelings and thoughts. The author would usually tell the story from his own perspective and express his feelings and thoughts in various ways. In addition, novels usually pay more attention to the expression of words and the pleasure of reading, while movies, television, and literary scripts pay more attention to the expression and effect of sight and hearing. Therefore, novels can be more emotional works, while movies, television, and literary scripts are more focused on rational expression and visual effects.
