The novel is based on the behavior of human beings as they appear in everyday life, and it is not quite accidental that it came into fashion during the eighteenth century when man was regarded as of central importance in the universal scheme. ... The reader feels that a novel is worth reading when he can, up to a point, identify himself with the novelist's creations, and identification becomes possible when the reader feels that he knows a character.
