Okay, I'm sure this is going to sound like a really stupid question, but can someone who has a microbial (okay, so I made that word up) handle on this subject explain what realism in literature is? I sort of understand it, but not really.
For example, I think what it means is that instead of being all wishy-washy and flowery about a subject you stay true to what it is...aka the facts. However, if you wanted to go with that definition you would have to rule out all feelings and the like, though on the other hand taking those out would not be "real" since a person's reality is often very different to them. Ugh! Help!!!
