    I believe that in a solitary way both the literary and popular fiction addresses their unique style of conveying of the themes . Whereas literary fiction concerns withe ideology to provide with a complex humane emotion , popular fiction focuses more on the entertainment of the viewers watching it to have a good time .

    But if the argument is to be placed forward that why the “Literary fiction” is thought of as a better form of fiction then may be my opinions could help you to distinguish between them better.

    •   Literary fiction often travels through the theme of complex humane emotion and depth of the ­storyline . This creates a havoc of  swirling feelings of thoughts provocation, pokes the human resilience nature and supports with providing insights .
    • Popular fiction this provides with a more straightforward character depicting and storyline following closely to different and distinct genres allowing the readers or viewers to watch their own theme of entertainment without creating an emotional chaos .
    • Literary fiction is often seen to appreciate the delicate approach of literature artistry and creates a broadened perspective of the readers on how to explore their critical thinking. It also asks the readers to have a deeper understanding of humans emotions.
    • Whereas popular fiction provides escapism. The themes and messages portrayed by the popular fiction are mainly straightforward and easy to understand, making us readers to understand the plot better creating a surrounding of entertainment and easily accessible.

    This is an overall perspective of clashing opinions on why either of the fictions is better than eachother . Mainly speaking , your liking of a fiction is your way of portraying your perspective of the thoughts and feelings. Watching a literary fiction may be better when it comes to have a instinct precaution and learning about the humane complexity but it can’t be said that popular fiction is not better for it provides a way of escaping the chaos of the reality and finding comfort in your little choice of genre and entertainment.

    In “A Tale of Two Cities,” women are pivotal in shaping the narrative. Lucie Manette and Madame Defarge, though contrasting, both challenge traditional gender roles.

     

    Lucie Manette represents the traditional feminine ideal with her kindness and compassion. Yet, she defies conventional expectations through her courage and determination. Lucie’s strength and moral integrity make her a source of inspiration and stability for her father, Dr. Manette, and her husband, Charles Darnay. Her character embodies the power of love and emotional resilience.

     

    Conversely, Madame Defarge subverts traditional femininity with her ruthless and vengeful nature. As a leader in the French Revolution, she embodies its brutality and the dangers of unchecked emotions. Her constant knitting of a death register symbolizes her active role in driving the revolution’s violence. Madame Defarge’s character challenges the notion that women should be passive and nurturing, showing they can also be powerful agents of change and destruction.

     

    Both characters are crucial to the plot, influencing the actions and fates of others. Lucie’s goodness and Madame Defarge’s malevolence serve as foils, highlighting themes of light versus darkness and hope versus despair. Through them, Dickens explores the complexities of women’s roles, urging readers to rethink gender and morality.

    This is not an easy question to answer, as it really depends on the authors themselves. Take the example of writers who are writing a series. The only way to ensure that their readers buy their next book is to make sure that they have given them enough to ponder over. Cliffhangers are one example. It’s a way to keep everyone hooked. Engagement is really a good thing and ensures vitality both for the author and their creation. 

    The other reasons are a little more complex and may sound incomprehensible unless you write yourself. Sometimes, authors like to keep things open to make sure the readers engage with them. It is done just to make sure that readers discuss and try to understand what really happened or what may happen next. The discussion sparked from this will then help relate it with the society–if it is indeed a commentary. This, too, helps in ensuring vitality for the authors and their works. Sometimes, suspense helps maintain the idea that life is unpredictable. You cannot know everything, simple as that. Sometimes, it’s simply an artistic choice; the author has told you whatever they needed to tell you, now it’s your turn to mull over all that information and engage with it.

    It is just how literature works. A good book will make you want to think it over, and a good writer will know how to do it. Yes, sometimes it is done poorly and can be annoying, but if it is done poorly and is annoying, then you will know the author’s actual intention: they just want you to buy their next book.
