What are the characteristics of 1920s novels in general instead of erotica novels?

19th - century novels often had complex characters. For example, in 'Great Expectations' by Charles Dickens, Pip is a character who goes through a significant transformation. The settings were also very detailed, like the fog - filled London in many of Dickens' works, creating a vivid atmosphere.

A great plot is also essential. It should be engaging, with a clear beginning, middle, and end. There should be some sort of conflict or problem that the characters need to overcome, like in 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy where the hobbits face the great evil Sauron.

Short Victorian novels often had a focus on moral lessons. They were set in the complex social backdrop of Victorian society, depicting the class differences, for example, the poor and the wealthy. The language was often elaborate and formal.

Short novels in general are concise yet powerful. They have to convey a complete story or idea within a limited number of words. For example, they often have a single, focused plotline. Take 'The Necklace' as an example. It has a clear plot about a woman's obsession with appearance and the consequences that follow. The characters are also well - defined despite the brevity. The setting is usually described just enough to set the context for the story.

Another characteristic of good novels is that they can convey deep themes. For instance, in '1984' by George Orwell, it explores themes of totalitarianism, surveillance, and the loss of freedom. This makes the reader think about important social and political issues. And a good novel also has a unique narrative style. 'Lolita' by Vladimir Nabokov has a very distinct way of storytelling, even though the content has some controversial aspects. But overall, these elements combined make a novel great.

Well, one characteristic was the use of euphemisms. Given the social norms of the 1800s, writers couldn't be too explicit. So they used a lot of flowery language and veiled descriptions to imply sexual or passionate content. For example, they might describe a character's flushed cheeks or trembling hands in a situation that was meant to be suggestive.

The 1950s erotica novels often had a different narrative style. They were more likely to build up the sexual tension through description of the characters' emotions and the atmosphere rather than direct sexual acts. Also, they sometimes used euphemisms and allusions to get the point across. They were influenced by the social and cultural norms of the 1950s, which were more restrictive, so they had to be more subtle in expressing sexual content.

One popular novel is "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It's a story set in the Jazz Age, exploring themes of wealth, love, and the American Dream. The complex characters and the vivid description of the era make it a must - read.

In general Hindi stories, there is a rich use of language, with beautiful descriptions of nature, emotions, and human nature. They might have elements of love, but in a more chaste and moral way compared to what erotica implies.

Since erotica is not a proper topic, let's talk about characteristics of short mystery novels instead. They often have a quick - paced plot that grabs the reader's attention from the start. There's usually a central mystery to be solved, and the author uses various clues and red herrings.
