Explanation:<u></u><u>A novel is a long prose narrative, which means it is a work written without following a metrical structure</u>. In that way, <u>a novel does not include elements of poetry such as rhyme and rhythm</u>, but it presents a natural flow of speech instead. Moreover, a novel usually depicts fictional characters and tells fictional events that take place in a particular setting. Some of the most famous novels are Emily Brontë's <em>Wuthering Heights</em>, Miguel de Cervantes' <em>Don Quixote</em> and Mary Shelley's <em>Frankenstein</em>.
