I've always heard that people who read are more likely to excel in school then people who don't, but I never really heard that certain materials help more than others, or that reading can help with understanding others. By reading literary fiction, one is able to analyze the characters and get more of a feel for how a character functions. This can then help people analyze and understand the actions of people in real life. It could also help one understand the emotions of others. This proves true in Hamlet because, even though we've only read two acts, we're already starting to develop a feel for who the characters are and how they think. Because literary fiction deals with giving identities to people and understanding them, there is a chance it could help translate to everyday life dealings with people. The next time I feel like going out, I may pick up a literary fiction book, just to test it out.
