摘要： 可能世界理论认为，真势模态有必然性、可能性和不可能性三种类型。以这种理论为依据，文学作品可以被看作一种特殊的可能世界——虚构叙述世界，虚构人物即为虚构叙述世界的栖居者。按照虚构人物与真实人物的通达关系，可以把虚构人物划分为仿真的虚构人物、物理不可能人物和逻辑不可能人物，这三种人物覆盖了文学作品中的所有虚构人物类型。通过这种方式，论证可能世界理论为划分虚构人物类型、建构可能世界人物理论提供了一个全新的研究视角和理论框架。

Abstract: According to the possible worlds theory, there are three types of alethic logics, i.e. necessity, possibility and impossibility.  Literary works can then be seen as a specific possible world: fictional narrative world, while characters are its inhabitants. Taking into consideration the accessible relation of the fictional characters with the human beings in the real worlds, we divide the fictional characters into plausible characters, physically impossible characters and logically impossible characters. These three types of characters cover all the character types in fictional works. Possible worlds theory provides a new research scale and theoretical framework for categorizing character types as well as for constructing a theory of characters.

Key words: possible worlds theory, types of characters, implausible characters, physically impossible characters, logically impossible characters
