In literature, the term fictive is often employed to denote something that is not merely invented but crafted with verisimilitude—a creative construction that possesses an almost tangible reality. Writers use it to signal that although a narrative or character may be a product of imaginative artifice, it resonates as if it springs from the depths of genuine life, as seen when a sermon’s dual nature is portrayed as both invented and starkly human [1]. It can describe the transformation of historical or dramatic elements into a reimagined framework, where even the boundaries between the authentic and the constructed blur, leading to a narration that feels true despite its fabricated origins [2][3]. Moreover, critics and authors alike refer to a fictive eye that perceives beyond the literal, suggesting that the creative lens itself lends a textured, vibrant layer to the portrayal of characters and settings [4][5].
