These are all novels, all about people that never existed, the people that read them it makes them unhappy with their own lives. Makes them want to live in other ways they can never really be.
The quote from Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451" reflects the discontent that fictional narratives can evoke in readers. It suggests that novels depict characters and lives that are entirely fabricated, yet they resonate deeply with audiences. Readers might find themselves longing for experiences and identities that differ vastly from their own realities.
This longing can create a sense of dissatisfaction, as individuals compare their mundane lives to the extraordinary adventures or emotions portrayed in literature. This yearning for alternate realities underscores the powerful impact of storytelling, revealing both its allure and the potential melancholy it can bring to those seeking more than their current existence.
