fictive literature
Fictive literature refers to creative works that tell stories imagined by their authors rather than being based on real events or factual accounts. This includes novels, short stories, and poetry, where characters, settings, and plots are products of the author's imagination. While these narratives may reflect real-life themes or experiences, they are ultimately fictional. Fictive literature serves to entertain, provoke thought, and explore the human experience in ways that non-fiction often does not, allowing readers to engage with different perspectives and emotions.
