Instead of treating the paradox of fiction as a problem to be solved, we can use it as a tool for analyzing the underlying concepts. Intentionality ? the ›aboutness‹ or ›directedness‹ of our mental states ? lies at the core of the paradox. Our emotional responses are usually formulated as directed toward the fictional characters and situations in a story: we feel pity for Anna Karenina and we are afraid of Nosferatu. Iulia Nistor shows how the paradox invites us, on the one hand to ask whether there is a difference between the intentionality of thought and that of emotion, and on the other hand whether intentionality differs when directed toward factual or fictional states of affairs.
