How to use "Fictional" in context?
characters
Novels are often a safe place to explore the lives of fictional characters because the author has the liberty to create new stories, alter existing stories, or conflate the lives of two or more different fictional characters. This can create a dizzying array of fictional universes in which readers can immerse themselves. Because readers can be confident that the characters and their story worlds will remain consistent, they can develop a strong emotional attachment to them.
Some of the most popular fictional characters are from books, movies, and television shows. Fiction allows us to escape our day-to-day lives, and explore new worlds and cultures.
