fictionality

Fictionality refers to the quality of being fictional, meaning that something is created from the imagination rather than based on reality. It encompasses stories, characters, and events that exist in literature, films, and other media, where the narrative may not correspond to real-life experiences. Fiction allows for exploration of ideas, emotions, and themes through invented scenarios and personas, providing a space for creativity and reflection. While fictional works may resonate with real-life truths, they remain distinct from non-fiction, which aims to present facts and actual events.
