Important points Fictional characters are not real people. Authors use characterization, or the art and technique of representing fictional personages. Author is deliberately manipulating reader through characters. We learn not only about the values, beliefs, and ways of life of others through reading. We also learn a lot about our own values, prejudices, and beliefs.
