7. 3. THE NARROWER SENSE
1. The narrower sense is a sympathetic reproducing of other people’s state of mind,
their emotional state.
2. We read different literary works and watch movies, even in one novel we have
different characters and persons which are distinguish from each other by their
character traits and many other physical nature.
3. This happens by the power of imagination of a writer who can create thousands
of characters of different type and kind and can sympathize with the characters
mind.
4. This is the reason behind the addition of this category of imagination- the
narrower sense.

inventiveness imagination. It is believed that this kind
of imagination is responsible for relevant connection

compared) which is exemplified (typical example of)
in scientific imagination.

important it is about imagination of the poet, how poet writes. Describing
▪ the poet, we can lay stress upon the availability of his experience, upon the width
of the field of stimulation, which he can accept and the completeness of the
response which he can make.
▪ Compared with him the ordinary man Suppresses nine-tenth- of his impulses
because he is Incapable of managing them without confusion.
