Speech on Trurth is Stranger than fiction
Answers
It is said, quite truly, that truth is stranger than fiction. It is, however, equally true to say that the strangest thing in fiction is the truth. This is not to say that truth is strange to fiction and is strange when we find it there. Quite the contrary. It belongs in fiction as an integral and inextricable part of the story; so much so, that we can talk about truth as being the very heart of the story, the invisible yet palpable force that infuses the fictional narrative with the life-blood of meaning. No, the reason that the strangest thing in fiction is the truth, is that the truth in fiction is beguilingly elusive whilst being immanently present. Although it is the very life of a story, it is all too easy to neglect or deny its presence, or even its existence. It is, therefore, essential that we learn to see the truth in fiction and to recognise its role as the conveyer of applicable meaning, the bridge that connects the fictional story with the real story in which we are living.
As per the definition in the dictionary,fiction refers to books and stories about imaginary people and events. in other words,fiction is a story made up through imagination rather than from real events. on the other hand,the word 'truth' holds a completely opposite meaning. truth about something is the true facts about it. there is no space for imagination in reality.
as we step into the twenty first century,we realize the truths of life are stranger than any fictional novel. we all know imagination runs wild and by giving imagination the encouragement to run wild,we can actually feel that there are glimpses of fiction in every real event that occurs. even when reading a novel,fiction or non-fiction,we can relate to one character in the least.it is,in fact,the common human psychology to try and relate truth with fiction.
