- SSC Selection Post Ph-13 2025 One Word Substitution
What is the one-word term for: "A narrative or dramatic technique in literature in which the line between reality and fiction is intentionally blurred, often involving self- referentiality or characters aware of their fictional nature. "
Answer & explanation
Answer: A) Metafiction
' Metafiction ' is fiction that self-consciously draws attention to its own status as fiction, blurring the line between reality and the fictional world and often featuring characters aware that they are in a story.
'Allegory' uses characters/events as symbols for a hidden meaning, 'Surrealism' presents dreamlike, irrational imagery, and a 'Parable' is a short moral story - none matches the definition of self-referential fiction.
