In 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory', there is Willy Wonka's chocolate factory which can be considered a sort of fictional city. It has rooms filled with amazing candies and strange inventions.

And in 'The Lorax', the town where the Once - ler builds his factory is also a fictional place that shows the consequences of environmental destruction.

In the book 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland', there's Wonderland which can be considered a fictional city of sorts. It has strange and wonderful places like the Mad Hatter's tea party location. Also, the city of Ambergris in Jeff VanderMeer's works is a very unique fictional city, full of mystery and oddities.

One famous fictional city is Minas Tirith from 'The Lord of the Rings'. It's a grand and fortified city, a key stronghold against the forces of evil. Another is Panem in 'The Hunger Games', which is divided into districts and a Capitol, with a very distinct and oppressive social structure. And then there's Camelot from the Arthurian legends, a symbol of chivalry and a place where King Arthur held court.

One well - known fictional language from books is Elvish in J.R.R. Tolkien's works. There are different forms of Elvish like Quenya and Sindarin. Another is Klingon from the 'Star Trek' books. It has a complex grammar and vocabulary, and fans have even created dictionaries for it. And in 'Game of Thrones', the Dothraki language was created. It has unique sounds and a rough - and - tumble feel that suits the nomadic Dothraki people.

One well - known fictional place is Hogwarts from the 'Harry Potter' series. It's a magical school full of secrets, moving staircases, and hidden rooms. Another is Middle - earth from 'The Lord of the Rings'. It has diverse landscapes like the Shire, a peaceful and idyllic place, and Mordor, a dark and foreboding land.

Well, it varies. Metropolis, for instance, is thought to draw inspiration from a combination of several major cities like Chicago and New York, with its modern and bustling feel.

Another great one is 'Mordor' from J.R.R. Tolkien's 'The Lord of the Rings'. Although it's more of a dark and desolate land that functions like a city in terms of having a ruling power (Sauron) and various minions. The description of Mordor is very detailed, with its volcano Mount Doom and the Black Gate, which makes it a very memorable fictional place in literature.

Take Holden Caulfield from 'The Catcher in the Rye'. He is a complex and somewhat disillusioned teenager. He is very critical of the 'phony' adult world around him and has a very distinct voice in the story.
