Historical fiction and biography are two genres that might appear very similar at first, but that are in fact quite different. Historical fiction, as the name describes, is fictional. This means that it does not describe facts or provable events. While it is based on history (hence the term "historical"), it does not claim to recreate history. An example of historical fiction would be <em>Outlander</em>, by Diana Gabaldon. On the other hand, biographies are based on the life of a person who lived in the past. These are mostly factual and are based on research of events that happened and people that did exist. Therefore, these more closely resemble reality.
<span>Allegorical, Surrealistic.
Surrealism is a story that has dreamlike qualities in which the narrative has absurd or unrealistic elements. In Metamorphosis, Gregor becomes a giant insect. This is rather absurd and unrealistic. An allegory is when a story has a hidden meaning. Is Metamorphosis just about a guy turned into a bug? No. It's also about the alienating nature of society. Throughout the story, Gregor has no real friends with people outside of his family. Once he becomes a bug, even that is gone. </span>
