What does fictional character mean in books?

A fictional character is an invented person or creature in a story. They exist only in the author’s imagination and on the page, but can feel very real to readers.

How do authors make fictional characters feel real?

Authors make characters feel real by giving them clear goals, fears, flaws and habits, then showing how they react to problems, other people and changing situations in the story.

Why are fictional characters important when studying literature?

Fictional characters are important because their choices and experiences carry the plot, express themes and help readers explore ideas about relationships, identity and behaviour.
