Characters are similarly unaffected by gravity but I'd be confused reading a book where everyone floats around without any explanation.

- pessimizer 5y agoWould you be, or would you just wonder why the author did that? I'm watching the Raised By Wolves TV show right now (probably not for much longer, it got pretty bad after the first half of the first season.) They have a giant serpent that flies around as if air were water. Nobody on the show explains or questions that. The "explanation" you're referring to is what criticism is attempting to provide. edit: That's why it hopped from a psychological theory of everything like Freudianism in the first part of the 20th century to a materialist theory of everything in Marxism in the 60s. They're frameworks for answering questions that weren't directly answered in the work. Part of making writing interesting is prompting questions that you trick people into answering themselves.
