Perhaps
the most difficult thing to do is to successfully fight against the heart. That
organ, the epicenter of emotion, is over one-tenth the size of the average
human, but it has never lost a battle with one. And when love is the chief
motivator, it is fruitless to resist it. Fiction is the only realm where the
playing field between humanity and the heart is even. Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre once fought an intense battle
with her heart, and she was the victor. I very much wish that reality would
produce an individual like Jane Eyre. Tuesday, February 23, 2016

I think that explains why--for some of us--fictional characters are so much easier to fall in love with.
