Eccentric Characters and Preposterous
SituationsThese are situations and characters that are “over
the top”!They may occur in
realistic settings, making them more believable.

extraordinary, yet believable world.

Time-Shift FantasyBased on
characters who seem to move easily from their
own time to a long-lost point in time. Time-
travel is typically
linked to a tangible object or
place common to both eras.

Imaginary RealmsThese stories are set in
imaginary societies which resemble the Middle Ages. They may contain a quest, the struggle between good
and evil, or a human character’s search for identity. They are less
complex and lighter in tone than High Fantasy.

High FantasyThese consist of complex
narratives, often connected to sequels, which contain
recurring themes and motifs. They may be set in a created
world, and characters may call on ancient or fundamental powers, good or evil. The
focus of the story may be a quest, or the struggle between
good and evil, light and darkness. High Fantasy is
serious in nature, and deals with cosmic questions and
ultimate values.

Characteristics of Modern Fantasy
• Themes in fantasy usually deal with real world issues, such as good vs. evil, what it means to be human, and the meaning of life and death.
• Many characters, places, and motifs in fantasy are often taken from older folktales.
• The author makes the story believable in many ways:– The story is often grounded in reality before moving
into fantasy.– The setting is very detailed, especially the fantasy
worlds.– The story must be consistent for it to be believable.

Quality Fantasy Endures!• A contemporary realistic novel
may be outdated in five or ten years, but well-written fantasy endures the test of time.
• Fantasy is often timeless because of the universal questions it asks and the make-believe worlds on which the stories are based.
