Most of my study of literature has been about constructing a sense of reality from setting, buildings and objects around a person, of forming, making and breaking relationships, showing family ties, and bringing in from society everything that seems plausible.
Only sometimes, real life doesn't take on the form of realism, even though the content may be similar. Who would read a Mills and Boon if the hero and heroine didn't end up together. Expectations are everything in fiction, and it has less to do with life as we know it than we think.
