Fantasy
  • An Introduction

  • Extraordinary worlds like Oz, Fairyland, or
    Hogwarts

  • Speculative or Science Fiction
  • Science advanced far beyond the current time
  • Other planets, inhabited or not
  • Space or time travel as common as riding a school
    bus around the universe

5
  • Horror
  • Suspense caused by existence of supernatural
    monsters like hungry zombies
  • Fear created by frequent and grisly bloodbaths
    committed by creatures like vampires, Freddie,
    Jason, werewolves, and ghosts

10
Characteristics
  • The world obeys different rules from real life
    like animated and thinking trees, winds, waters,
    rocks, and dead people
  • Magic works
  • Mythological beings, monsters, and creatures
    walk the earth
  • All characters accept the reality of the world,
    whatever it is like
  • Often, a hero or heroine prevails

11
Conclusions
  • Fantasy exists in many different forms
  • Each type continues to be popular today
  • Some forms scare us so that we can be cleansed of
    real life fears since we know we will survive
    just like the hero
  • We read and listen to fantasy stories and watch
    fantasy movies for entertainment to make us
    laugh, scream, or tremble
