Fiction and Lies

Fiction and lies are approximately same genre in literature where story or events based on imagination not related to real life.The word 'Fiction' means imagination about something.

1.Satan, in The Bible

Need I say more, really? Though it’s worth noting that storytellers – speaking perhaps to the overlaps between story and lies – like Blake, Milton and Philip Pullman have found very interesting things to do with Satan, as a character, playing with the complexity of his motivations. In times of Enlightenment and Revolution, he became a much less straightforward figure for us to focus our hatred on than he was perhaps initially intended to be.

2. Mr Darcy, in Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

The obvious liar in Pride and Prejudice is Wickham, but the more interesting from a plot perspective is Darcy. Because Darcy does something immensely noble, which if she knew about it would make Elizabeth deeply grateful to him, but doesn’t tell her. Lies about it. She only finds out indirectly. It’s a heart-stirring and deeply effective device, so much so that it has spread, meme-style, through countless other stories ever since. There’s a legend in Bookworld that when Helen Fielding was considering turning her Bridget Jones columns into a book, she saw the Colin Firth-starring TV adaptation and decided to lift the plot from Pride and Prejudice. Virtually every romantic novel ever since has done the same, including Twilight.
