Is this okay?

<p>Barnard has the prompt:
3. What fictional character or characters from literature, film, theatre, or television have intrigued you or taught you something and why?</p>

<p>and i've written about john nash from a beautiful mind. However the john nash in the movie is based off of john nash in real life. I write about the john nash from the movie but he's still a real person. so i'm not sure if he's considered fictional or not. Or whether it really MATTERS. please advise!</p>

<p>I bet it’s fine. I can’t imagine someone saying “Gasp! That character is based off of a real person! Throw this out!”</p>
