 When Fiction Lives in Fiction

"When Fiction Lives in Fiction" is a concept that can refer to various layers of storytelling where one fictional narrative exists within another. This idea often explores themes of metafiction, where the text itself reflects on its own fictional status, or it may involve narratives where characters are aware they are in a story or where stories are referenced within stories. One common example is a novel that includes a book written by one of its characters, or a film that features characters who are aware they are in a movie.
