How can reading fiction help you understand others? Use Hamlet as an example to explore your own thinking process and reactions to a character's innermost thoughts/struggles.
Reading fiction can help you understand others since you can infer information about the characters from their action so that you can establish connection to the character. Like the article said, it is more up to the imagination which leaves audiences to make inferences. You are able to relate to the character's struggles and challenges using your own thought process. When Hamlet has the struggle of his mother marrying his uncle, thinking of suicide but contains his anger, the reader predicts that Hamlet cared about his father so he's angered by the actions of his mother.
