Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Fantasy has always been an underlying theme in almost every plot, whether it is romance or nature-influenced writings. Every genre has a faction of imagination in it, an element of imagination that seems to be engraved in it, hidden or expressed. For some, it is a way to escape reality, while for others, it is a way of living. Almost everyone has read or heard a fairy tale. A story full of wonders that transports us to an enchanted realm. The fairy tales and the supernatural world have grasped readers’ minds since the dawn of time, some believe it to be real and existent yet hiding, while others ignore it as a figment of lies, castles in the air. This paper delves into the trivial details of similarities that have existed in the two series of fantasy by different writers at different times yet transporting into the same realm. The present article wishes to acquaint the readers with the plot of fantasy literature and the presence of the underlying settings and elements that create a complete story that feels different but contains almost similar principles. This paper deeply examines so that it could also serve as a basis of comparison for other fantasy literature written by different writers. This paper further delves into similar methods that use magic and myths to create themes of power, identity, and transformation despite their differing plots and settings. This paper explores the similarities of the same genre, as both involve magical realms with rich, detailed worlds, though their plots and themes diverge significantly. They share common elements such as otherworldly adventures, complex characters, and the blending of the magical with the mundane.
