Abstract: In my earlier articles I had dwelt on major Shakespearean and Greek comedies and tragedies. Here I will try an account of literary novels. A novel as we know is a fictitious story written in prose. It is of book length. Its telements are Title, plot, characters, atmosphere, Logical Story drawn to its conclusion and style. The novel is larger than short story. Generally, its theme reflects an aspect of life. Its characters are developed to reflect their contrastive nature. Mostly, a novel is a hero, a heroine, the society as its villain. There are different kinds of novels such as social Goethic, domestic, historical, realistic, psychological, defective, etc. Its beauty is that of life represented in it passes as that of real life. The main characters suffering from difficult situation and emotional crisis move the reader emotionally. Thomas Hardy?s move "The Mayor of Castor bridge (1886)".
