| Abstract: | So Homer, Hesiod, and Socrates anticipated our modern literary critics in devaluing the role of the author. Are fictional characters real people? Otherwise, one suspects that a degree of unconscious envy may lead critics to presume they know more about fiction than do authors of fiction. Psychoanalysts are bound to a have special interest in studying in depth what fiction and fictional characters mean to readers, including readers who are our patients (for example, Novey, [6]).
