Psychological Fiction

Psychological fiction is a work of prose fiction which places more than the usual amount of emphasis on interior characterization, and on the motives, circumstances, and internal action which springs from, and develops, external action. The psychological novel is not content to state what happens but goes on to explain the motivation of this action. In this type of writing character and characterization are more than usually important, and they often delve deeper into the mind of a character than novels of other genres.

El cobarde que se sabe cobarde, deduce, posee una honestidad de la que carece aquel que se lanza ciego al combate para ocultar el miedo.
