    • QUOTE: ... According to the great English poet and philosopher Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834), enjoyment of fiction requires a “willing suspension of disbelief” — a conscious decision. We say to ourselves, “Well, I know this story about Beowulf battling Grendel is sheer bunk, but I’m going to switch off my skepticism for a while so I can enjoy the ride.”

      But that’s not how it works. We don’t will our suspension of disbelief. If the story is strong, if the teller has craft, our suspension of disbelief just happens to us, with or without our permission. Chalk it up to the power of emotion. Successful stories generate powerful feelings, and strong feelings act as a solvent on our logic and our skepticism. To put it positively, good stories — fictional or not — make us more open minded. To put it negatively, they make us a lot more gullible.
