What are some examples of suicide in fiction?

A book like 'A Little Life' by Hanya Yanagihara also touches on themes related to self - harm and suicidal tendencies. The story of the characters is complex and heart - wrenching, showing how past traumas can lead a person to such a dark place. It's a long and detailed exploration of the human condition in the face of extreme pain.

In 'Blade Runner' which is based on Dick's work, we see elements that could be related to'suicide science fiction'. The replicants have a limited lifespan, and their struggle with this fate and their search for more life can be seen as a form of suicidal despair when they realize their situation is unchangeable. They are created as a form of'slave' in a way and their short lives are a form of doom that could lead to self - annihilation.

One such book is '13 Reasons Why' by Jay Asher. It delves into the reasons a teenage girl chose to end her life through a series of tapes she left behind, exploring themes like bullying, peer pressure, and mental health issues among teenagers.

Some examples of fiction include classic works such as 'Pride and Prejudice' and modern ones like 'The Hunger Games'. They transport us to made-up worlds and introduce us to fictional characters and their adventures.

Well, novels like 'Harry Potter' and 'The Lord of the Rings' are classic examples of fiction. They take you to magical and fantastical worlds.

One example is 'The Princess Bride'. The main story of the book is a fictional adventure, but within it, there are stories that the characters tell each other which are also fictional.

They tend to be quite deep in exploring the human psyche. In 'A Little Life', we see how past traumas can shape a person's self - worth and lead to self - destructive thoughts. The narrative dives into the roots of the characters' pain and how it manifests in their actions and thoughts regarding suicide.

An example is 'Gormenghast' by Mervyn Peake. It's set in a strange, decaying castle with a highly detailed and idiosyncratic world - building. The story and characters are often quite complex and not as well - known as more mainstream works. Also, the works of Angela Carter, like 'The Bloody Chamber', while not entirely obscure, have elements of the strange and off - beat that can put them in the realm of obscure fiction for some readers.

In the realm of literary fiction, 'Moby - Dick' is an iconic work that explores complex themes like obsession. As for commercial fiction, 'The Hunger Games' is a great example with its exciting and action - packed plot. When it comes to science fiction, 'Brave New World' is a well - known work that speculates about a future society. In fantasy fiction, 'A Song of Ice and Fire' stands out with its detailed world - building, including dragons, knights, and political intrigue.

Another is 'The Road' by Cormac McCarthy, which shows a post - apocalyptic world filled with despair and inhumane situations.
