Fictional Literature

When Culler defines literature from several different angles, he brings about the angle of “literature as fiction”. This stood out to me the most because with fiction stories comes the imagination and mind. With fictional stories, you have to think about the context of the story, the complexities of the characters in the story, the plot, what the author meant by a certain line, or, as a whole, what he wanted out of the story, or the main idea. With fictional literature comes all of these ideas and questions which makes it more intriguing for the reader to continue on observing and reading for himself because reading fictional literature is very useful. Analytical skills come into play and you always have the question yourself because the story can be very complex and misunderstood. Plus, fictional stories are very immersive and fun to read.

  1. Josue, you do a good job of describing this angle and making a case for it. What I understand you to be saying is that primarily emphasizing literature’s fictional qualities allows the reader to be immersed and engage with the ideas brought forth by the text.
