A fairytale is based on stock characters and a happily ever after ending. The first part of a fairytale might have a horrific event and the last part a happy event for most of the characters.

You were most likely reading a traditional romance novel. These novels typically feature stereotypical characters and a predictable happily-ever-after ending.
Most likely, you read a fairy tale, or other escapist literature. Most likely a fiction piece, probably a Romantic novel. By that I mean a novel written in the Romantic period. Something like Jane Austen or one of her contemporaries. This is an example of "Hack" writing, much like most television soap operas.
You should learn about literature characters to learn more about real characters. Understanding why people do the things they do is important, and book characters follow the same rules as real people do in that respect, so you can learn more about people by reading about imaginary characters.
There is English grammar and there is English literature. Literature is reading.
Well, I believe that they do qualify as literature. So I am saying this because you are still reading, and any piece of literature is reading. So if you can read the words, you are reading literature. You are reading literature just being online! Lol. Don't assume that a journal is a novel though :)

Literature or Language? Literature I would suggest thoroughly reading the book and making notes on characters and themes. Buying a study guide may help with this.
