Fiction and Lies

This blog is part of my academic activity. We have asked to share our views on what according to us is fiction and lie. Here is my response.

It is told in sanskrit shloka that, "The world of Poet is greater then the world of Bramha (creator of the world as per Hindu myth)" and many reasons are also given to prove that statment and one reason is that that "The world of Bramha" has rules but "The world of Poet" has no rules there for "The world of Poet" is greater. Here having no rules doesn't mean anything else but a new world which is alternate of the world in which we live and that is called "alternative fact", which is a pure imagination and pretending of something but claiming something which is imagined is lie. 

For example, once a person died it can not be live again and this is fact but in Mary Shelly's " Frankenstein" Victor give life to a dead one which is purely imagination or fiction or we can say this is "alternative fact" but claiming that it is fact that Victor gave life to dead is lie, which any literary writers never does. So it is like "alternative fact" or "alternative world" of literary writers and not lies.

Thank you.
