There are two world : the world which is , and the world which might be. Nonfiction deals with the former, and fiction withe the latter. There is no reason to restrict one's reading to nonfiction ( that is, books dealing with real people, real events , and established facts), because fiction can be as instructive as nonfiction, though in a different way.
For example, works of imagination can help us understand this world better by going beyond mere fact and showing us alternative world. Imagine, for one, a man shipwrecked in a land where the people are only several centimeters tall. In the imagination of Johathan Swift, such an encounter allowed him to revealing comment about English society. Swift could have done the same thing in nonfiction, but an imagination setting made his message much more effective.
Countless author have used fiction to teach lesson, warn of dangers, and explore the complexities of mind. Cervantes used Don Quixote and Sancho to illustrate the conflict between the idealist and realist. George Orwell wrote 1984 to warn about the dangers of totalitarianism. Jules Verne used the imaginary Captain Nemo and his submarine to show that technology could be either beneficial or destructive, depending on how it was used.
Therefore, these examples demonstrate the value of fiction. Sometimes a fictional story is much more instructive reading than a factual one, because it lets the author dramatize a current situation and show where is might lead. | |
