LITERARY FICTION & EMPATHY

I think it's true that we may be able to relate more to literary fiction because those are usually based off actual events that may have happened whereas popular fiction is more made up. It does revolve around a specific plot that means the characters are made to revolve around what the plot needs. I also think that whether the character is in fiction or nonfiction we will always be able to relate to some one some how. We all have some type of struggles that can be related to how a problem is fixed. With Hamlet, his "family" could care less about him, but they pretend to for the courts sake. With my family, they're all talk but no action in the same way.
