Reality vs. Fantasy: Comparing Two Worlds in Two Fantasy Novels

Dream books assist perusers with venturing outside their ordinary world for some time to think about a subject from an alternate perspective. Like the accounts in C.S. Lewis’ The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, the two books attempt to join two totally separate universes, the essential one which is like our genuine world and the other one that has supernatural creatures that flourish inside it. By introducing the distinctions of genuine and dreamlands, individuals get the hang of something about being a person, living with the real world and creative mind. As these books depict enchantment that regularly seem outlandish and wondrous to customary individuals, the shared characteristic of their journeys or battles, all things considered, turns into the strands that interface the perusers to these make-conviction universes. As great and abhorrence fight, regularly the focal plot of contemporary dream books, these dream stories can be set in our own ordinary world or in a â€Å"secondary† world to some degree like our own. By recognizing between the â€Å"real world† and the â€Å"fantasy world†, individuals practice their innovative creative mind as they stay in contact with those sentiments and perspectives of youth so as to understand their inventive potential. It is this non-strict method of reasoning, so common during youth that adjusts and supplements exacting reasoning. Both being dream books, this article will attempt to evaluate these â€Å"strands† of shared characteristic between the dream books The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and how the laws that administer in the â€Å"fantasy† universes become reasonable as the scholars attempt to support these universes and persuade their perusers to appreciate perusing their accounts.. Likenesses in Two Fantasies The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe successfully utilized customary techniques for addressing the astoundingly, this strategy for exciting perusers engage them to find about things in the equal world. As the story unfurls, quickly or gradually varying, the creator C.S. Lewis started the responding to of each question. For example, the principal notice of the name â€Å"Narnia† made such inquiries concerning what sort of world is it. Tumnus the Faun asks Lucy how she came into Narnia, and Lucy asks what the peruser likewise needs to know: â€Å"Narnia? What's that?† Tumnus answers, â€Å"This is the place that is known for Narnia, †¦ where we are currently; every one of that lies between the light post and the extraordinary palace of Cair Paravel on the eastern sea† (LWW, 9). The peruser will need and need to know more, obviously, yet for the time being the person in question has been provided the essential fundamental data and given satisfactory direction. Another significant disclosure in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, when it is understood first, is the development to the presentation of Aslan. The main reference to Aslan is by Mr. Beaver, when he meets the kids in the forested areas: â€Å"They state Aslan is on the moveâ€perhaps has as of now landed.† These words make a hole for the Pevensie youngsters andâ€presumablyâ€for the peruser: â€Å"None of the kids knew who Aslan was anything else than you do; yet the second the Beaver had expressed these words everybody felt very different† (LWW, 54). So also, in Harry Potter, despite the fact that the Dursleys attempt to block the letters conveyed by weird owls, perusers are captivated to approach what those letters for? When Hagrid takes Harry away to a little island to get away, Harry learns reality with regards to his folks and acquaints him with the supernatural world. Harry additionally learns of Lord Voldemort and his homicide of Harry’s guardians, just as Voldemort’s waiting notoriety regardless of being idle (even a huge and tough individual like Hagrid won't talk his name). As Rowling presents the optional universe of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, nothing in the Hogwarts world could be equivalent to Harry’s world with the Dursleys: There were a hundred and forty-two flights of stairs at Hogwarts: wide, clearing ones; limited, weak ones; some that drove some place distinctive on a Friday; some with an evaporating step most of the way up that you needed to make sure to bounce. At that point there were entryways that wouldn't open except if you asked graciously, or stimulated them in precisely the ideal spot, and entryways that weren't generally entryways by any means, yet strong dividers simply imagining. It was difficult to recollect where anything was, on the grounds that everything appeared to move around a ton. The individuals in the pictures propped up to visit one another, and Harry was certain the layers of covering could walk (HPAPS, 132). Like this present reality, the optional equal universes had their own principles that ought to be followed. While Narnia depends on the falsification that creatures have knowledge and discourse (what kid hasn't wished creatures could talk or imagined that they could?), the Harry Potter books imagine that mystical forces are genuine and that wizards and witches having those forces truly exist. In Narnia, one of the kids Edmund fell under the spell of the White Witch. Notwithstanding, her capacity is coming up short and different kids go after Aslan, and a humble Edmund is protected similarly as the witch is going to murder him. Requiring a ceasefire, the witch requests that Edmund be come back to her, as an old law gives her ownership everything being equal. Aslan, recognizing the law, offers himself in Edmund’s place and the witch acknowledges. In association, Hogwarts is set like a school, the primary year understudies are constrained to do some complex mystical spells and they are alloted to houses or quarters by sitting on a stool and putting on a singing cap that mysteriously peruses their contemplations and wants and â€Å"sorts† them appropriately: if the understudies will be doled out to Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw or Slytherin (HPAPS, 118). Making and Breaking Rules In the two stories, enchantment changed into an artistic gadget that enables the peruser to rise above the customary and the recognizable and enter an uncommon and new â€Å"other† world. In both Hogwarts and Narnia, perusers are welcome to suspend faith in the regular and accept rather in the extraordinary. For instance, the normal laws of gravity are resisted in Harry Potter, for instance, where individuals can fly utilizing brushes. The regular laws of time and order are suspended in Narnia, where the Pevensie kids go through years in Narnia, while just a couple of moments pass by on the opposite side of the closet in England. On the off chance that common laws are broken or suspended, in any case, there are otherworldly laws that never change regardless of what world the kids are in. Like all guidelines in reality, there is defying of these norms that become a focal piece of the convention of most dream storiesâ€much of the pressure created in the accounts originates from whether the characters will pull off what they have done. In reality, individuals may not fortify the sort of conduct. Dream stories, similar to what happened to Harry and the Pevensie kids, outcomes of defying guidelines are appeared however they don't admonish about them; a significant number of the troubles characters experience are made by, or convoluted by, lies or law breaking (Griesinger, 2002). End In spite of the fact that there are hardly any allegations that tales about enchantment could open small kids to the universe of mysterious, individuals could outline mindful scholarly way to deal with The Lion, Witch and The Wardrobe and Harry Potter as comprehended with regards to a dreamland that is like reality world. This exemplified in the exercises that Harry gains from Dumbledore and in Hogwarts School and the decisions he needs to make to turn into a shrewd wizard, while the Pevensie kids in Narnia figured out how to acknowledge how the outcomes of Edmund's bad form. All in all, The Lion, Witch and The Wardrobe and Harry Potter prevailing with regards to making equal endeavors to authorize the contrast between the â€Å"real† from the â€Å"fantasy† world. Both are fortifying to any reader’s minds, which the kids who peruse or hear the narratives could base their own creative mind by identifying with what Lewis and Rowling had shared through their accounts.
