Magical realism enhances historical fiction by blurring the lines between the real and the unreal. In historical fiction, we often deal with well - documented facts, but magical realism can introduce elements that were perhaps not recorded but were part of the cultural psyche. It can help to create a more complete picture of the historical era. For example, in a story set during the Industrial Revolution, a character might have the ability to communicate with the machines, which could represent the awe and fear that people had towards the new technology at that time.

Magical realism often blends the magical or supernatural elements into an otherwise ordinary, real - world setting. For example, in 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' by Gabriel García Márquez, there are strange happenings like a character being able to levitate. Historical fiction, on the other hand, is mainly set in a particular historical period and aims to recreate that era as accurately as possible. It focuses on real historical events and figures. So, the key difference is the presence of magic in one and strict historical accuracy in the other.
