From historical fiction, you can learn what someone might have thought during a historical event. While historical documents often provide factual accounts, dates, and names, historical fiction allows readers to explore the thoughts, emotions, and personal experiences of individuals during those events. This can deepen understanding of the human experience behind the facts and provide insight into the social and cultural context of the time.
