I first stumbled upon the Persona series when I was 16. Persona 4 was on sale at GameStop and I had to get my mom to buy it because I was not old enough. During this point in my life, I was struggling with a multitude of issues including existential crises, fitting in with the world, and most importantly, my sexual identity. After reading the back label for information on the game, I thought it was perfect. A bizarre murder mystery is just what I needed to escape reality. Or so I thought. The…

Pontalis’s ‘structural understanding of fantasies as myths of origin’ and Freud’s ‘original fantasy’, Williams shows how all three genres explore enigmas of sexual desire, sexual difference and self. Pornography addresses sexual desire and its unknown origin, by creating a fantasy of the perfect moment where a seducer and the seduced may meet and share moments of pleasure ‘on time’.

instant hero regardless of the fact that a true hero is a product of their environment, not their mind. In Don Quixote’s fantasies, he wants to become a legend in his own time. Quixote’s private world of fantasies, which he has created from his library, is interlaced with the world of reality that he encounters. At many times, it involves people who are not aware of his fantasies; therefore, this causes a conflict between himself and those he interacts with in his adventures. Some people…

Joyce describes North Richmond Street as, “... dark muddy lanes behind the houses, where we ran the gauntlet of the rough tribes from the cottages, to the back doors of the dark dripping gardens where odours arose from the ashpits…”(3); there is a reoccurring theme of darkness. The young narrator lives in this…

Fantasies provide an escape from the daily hassles of life. When one thinks of a fantasy, one may conjure up things like unicorns flying in the wind, elves dancing around a Christmas tree, or like the poem expresses, touching dragonflies and stars. All incidences are unreal, imaginative. Ernest Bormann, however, had another perspective on fantasy altogether. Fantasy is dimensionally acquired through dramatization and rhetorical vision. “Rhetorical vison is considered to be construction of a…

The first novel that opened the door into the world of fantasy and true imagination through literature for me was The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, by C.S. Lewis. The pages transported me to another world, as though I was stepping through Narnia alongside the characters. The storyline was magical and entertaining for a young girl, creating a place for my mind to wander and explore. Narnia and the characters became a sense of comfort and curiosity through each chapter, as I was beginning to…

almost had to be carried to the washroom. While she was supposed to be in class, Laura simply wandered through parks and visited animals at the zoo, or the local conservatory, slipping even further from reality. Laura preferred to be locked in her own fantasy world, far from the real world. She could care less about getting a career or finding gentlemen, much to her mother’s dislike.

Lewis paper Fantasy writing at the center of everything is a story that cannot possibly happen our world. It creates whole new worlds and realms of mysteries that could only possibly take place in novels and come from ones imagination. This is very noticeable in C.S.

From Aslen breathing on the statues bringing life back into them to Aslen being resurrected back to life, these great writings show how great fantasy writing can be and the…
