In its broadest and most general use, fiction is the action and result of pretending, that is, it would be to give existence to something that does not have it in the real world. In this way, it has a deep weight in artistic works, being frequently observed in literature and cinema.
Pretend, pass something off as real when it doesn't exist
The presentation of something as real when in reality it is not, or the simulation of something, of a state for example, showing joy when in reality one is sad or vice versa.
Invention that someone holds to harm a person or to gain an advantage
On the other hand, the word fiction is often used as synonym of invention, of invention. “What you're telling me sounds like fiction.”
It is certainly common for people to invent stories or situations about others or things to gain some advantage or also to hide some uncomfortable issue.
In other words, the invention is simply a lie and generally has, as we said, the purpose of hiding something or of making a profit with that invented thing that one wants to pass as true.
There are people who have a natural and constant tendency towards the invention and by case we must be alert to be able to discover an invention; only a critical spirit, and also trying to always seek the truth is the way not to fall into the nets of a deception.
Figment of the imagination
AND that imagined thing it is designated as fiction.
People have the ability to have a lush imagination, which allows us to create stories, which can sometimes become reality and sometimes not.
In order not to confuse ourselves and not to confuse the other, it is important to always notice when something is the product of our imagination.
Literary work, theater, TV program, film, which tells an imaginary story that is written by screenwriters and personified by actors
In the field of literature, television and cinema, the word fiction is an extremely popular term, since it refers to any literary, cinematographic, television piece that tells us imaginary or fictitious events, so it is that normally it is spoken of a fictional story, being directly opposed to the account of real events, which derives from elements belonging to reality, or from a fiction film.
These fictional stories are creative inventions that a professional called a screenwriter, producer, or filmmaker creates with the mission of entertaining audiences.
They use a mix of words, images, sounds, which creates an imaginary story which is followed in chapters, if it is a TV series, a book.
In the case of films, they begin and end in a period of approximately two hours.
When elements or resources of technology and science are also added to the story, it will be faced with what is known as science fiction, a hyper-cultivated genre in recent decades and that enjoys a special predilection of the public.
At present, the use of this term is extremely widespread to refer to those television programs, series, that are broadcast by this medium. "Channel 13's new fiction began with an overwhelming success with the audience."
In other words, the word is widely used today as a synonym for a novel or television comedy that obviously tells a fictional story that is born from the minds of scriptwriters specialized in this task.
It should be noted that in the universe of literature there are hybrids that are located between fiction and non-fiction, known as stories of Non Fiction and narrative journalism, which combine real elements with fictional elements.
It is important to note that when individuals access a work of fiction, we are in a position to respect the fictional pactIn other words, it is unacceptable for the reader, viewer, to question statements even if they are obviously fictional.
The origin of this concept dates back to the Greek concept of mimesis, which was developed in a timely manner in the Ancient Greece by the philosopher Aristotle.
Aristotle argued that all literary works copy reality from the principle of verisimilitude
But he was not the only one who referred to the subject in ancient times, so did another philosopher, Plato, who affirmed that poetic works imitate real objects, which in turn imitate pure ideas.
Later, the French philosopher Paul ricoeur, would decompose mimesis into three phases: the configuration of the text and the arrangement of the plot; the configuration of the text itself and finally the reconfiguration of the text made by the reader.
