A short note on 'Fiction: Experience and Analysis'

Fiction is true because it has weight and space. Experiences of fiction match with our own experience. It gives the same experience that we get in our normal life. According to the psychoanalyst, the experience of the fiction is unreal to our conscious mind and real to the unconscious mind.

Fiction contains characters, events, actions, dialogue, feelings, emotions and the entire things that a human being has in life. It is the emotion that links us with the unreal world of fiction. 
Our reading experience is unreal through fiction has of real existence. Fiction delights, informs and saddens us. The experience of fiction is like dreaming, but it isn't an experience of day to day reality. A reader of fiction has different kinds of experiences- laughing, weeping, some emotional and psychological.
Each reading provides the reader a new type of experience. Reader gets delighted or charmed by the experiences of the plot of fiction. In the other words, reading of literary books sensitizes feelings and imaginations of the imaginative world. By reading much, a reader gradually heightens the insight of imagination. The mental association with the book creates a kind of illusion to the mind of the reader. However, reading of fiction differs from person to person in terms of experience they get.
