Works of literature offer insights into countless cultures, situations and eras, and the characters they portray offers infinite diversity. And that is exactly the point! As we follow the different fates, we weigh up the decisions of the characters – including the negative ones – and their consequences. With this activity, we basically model situations as if we were part of them. In this way, we gain solutions for many scenarios and increase the number of problems we have thought through and solved, which increases our problem-solving abilities, even if it was only done in our heads.
