When it comes to the realm of literature, the classification of genres plays a crucial role in determining the expectations and characteristics of a particular work. One such genre that often sparks discussion is realistic fiction. Realistic fiction tends to portray events, characters, and settings that mimic everyday life, presenting stories that readers can easily relate to. On the other hand, classical allegories, while possessing their own merits, are not typically considered realistic fiction. Classical allegories are symbolic narratives that use characters, objects, or events to represent abstract ideas or moral concepts. They employ metaphorical elements to convey societal, philosophical, or religious messages. Unlike realistic fiction, which aims to depict life as it is or could be, allegorical narratives often delve into the realm of the abstract and fantastical. They are rooted in the realm of imagination and often require readers to decipher hidden meanings and symbolism within the story. The reasons why classical allegories are not regarded as realistic fiction can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, realistic fiction places great emphasis on authenticity and the portrayal of true-to-life experiences. It aims to capture the essence of human existence, presenting characters and situations that readers can readily identify with. In contrast, allegories often employ symbolism and metaphor to convey their underlying messages. By using abstract elements, allegories focus less on accurately depicting reality and more on delivering powerful moral or philosophical insights. Secondly, the intended goals of realistic fiction and classical allegories also differ. Realistic fiction seeks to reflect the world as it is, making it relatable and accessible to readers seeking familiar experiences or seeking to understand different perspectives. In contrast, allegories are intentionally constructed to provoke thought and reflection, often encouraging readers to explore deeper meanings beyond the surface narrative. They challenge readers to interpret and analyze the symbolism and metaphor within the story, unlocking hidden layers of meaning and moral lessons. Thirdly, the stylistic devices used in classical allegories, such as personification, extended metaphors, and symbolic settings, further differentiate them from the conventions of realistic fiction. Realistic fiction usually adheres to a more straightforward narrative approach with a focus on believable dialogue, realistic settings, and three-dimensional characters. Conversely, allegories employ literary techniques that heighten the symbolic and metaphorical aspects of the story, inviting readers to think beyond the literal interpretation. In conclusion, while classical allegories possess their unique merits and offer valuable insights into societal or moral issues, they are not typically regarded as realistic fiction. Realistic fiction prioritizes authenticity, relatability, and the portrayal of everyday life experiences. Allegorical narratives, on the other hand, stray from the realm of reality, employing symbolism and metaphor to convey deeper philosophical or moral messages. Both genres offer distinct approaches to storytelling, catering to different reader preferences and literary objectives.
