What are some examples of conditionals in fiction?

Conditionals in fiction often explore 'what if' scenarios. For example, in "If I Stay" by Gayle Forman, the protagonist contemplates her life choices after a tragic accident.

Can you give me more examples from different genres?

Sure! In fantasy, consider "The Chronicles of Narnia" where characters often face conditional choices that affect their destinies. In science fiction, "The Man in the High Castle" presents an alternate history based on conditional outcomes of World War II.

How do these conditionals affect character development?

Conditionals can significantly impact character development by forcing characters to confront their choices and the consequences of their actions, leading to growth or regression.

Are there any famous quotes that illustrate this?

Yes! A famous quote from "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost illustrates this: 'Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.' It reflects the essence of conditional choices.
