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 mystical creatures that flourish inside it. By introducing the distinctions of genuine and dreamlands, individuals master something about being a person, living with the real world and creative mind. As these books portray enchantment that frequently seem unimaginable and wondrous to normal individuals, the shared trait of their journeys or battles, in actuality, turns into the strands that associate the perusers to these make-conviction universes. As great and malevolence fight, frequently the focal plot of contemporary dream books, these dream stories can be set in our own regular world or in a â€Å"secondary† world to some degree like our own. By distinguishing 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 imaginative potential. It is this non-strict method of reasoning, so predominant during youth that adjusts and supplements exacting reasoning. Both being dream books, this article will attempt to evaluate these â€Å"strands† of shared trait 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 practical as the essayists attempt to support these universes and persuade their perusers to appreciate perusing their accounts.. Similitudes in Two Fantasies The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe viably utilized conventional techniques for addressing the incredibly, this strategy for enchanting perusers enable them to find about things in the equal world. As the story unfurls, promptly or gradually varying, the creator C.S. Lewis started the addressing of each question. For example, the main 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 additionally needs to know: â€Å"Narnia? What's that?† Tumnus answers, â€Å"This is the place where there is 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 until further notice the person has been provided the important 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 principal reference to Aslan is by Mr. Beaver, when he meets the youngsters 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 kids 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, in spite of the fact that the Dursleys attempt to capture the letters conveyed by abnormal 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 otherworldly world. Harry likewise learns of Lord Voldemort and his homicide of Harry’s guardians, just as Voldemort’s waiting notoriety notwithstanding being dormant (even a huge and tough individual like Hagrid will not talk his name). As Rowling presents the auxiliary 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; tight, feeble ones; some that drove some place diverse on a Friday; some with a disappearing 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 obligingly, or stimulated them in precisely the opportune spot, and entryways that weren't generally entryways by any stretch of the imagination, yet strong dividers simply imagining. It was exceptionally difficult to recollect where anything was, on the grounds that everything appeared to move around a great deal. The individuals in the representations propped up to visit one another, and Harry was certain the layers of protective layer could walk (HPAPS, 132). Like this present reality, the auxiliary equal universes had their own principles that ought to be followed. While Narnia depends on the affectation that creatures have insight and discourse (what kid hasn't wished creatures could talk or imagined that they could?), the Harry Potter books imagine that mysterious forces are genuine and that wizards and witches having those forces truly exist. In Narnia, one of the youngsters Edmund fell under the spell of the White Witch. In any case, her capacity is fizzling and different kids go after Aslan, and a contrite Edmund is protected similarly as the witch is going to execute him. Requiring a ceasefire, the witch requests that Edmund be come back to her, as an antiquated law gives her ownership all things considered. Aslan, recognizing the law, offers himself in Edmund’s place and the witch acknowledges. In association, Hogwarts is set like a school, the main year understudies are restricted to do some complex mystical spells and they are doled out to houses or residences by sitting on a stool and putting on a singing cap that mysteriously peruses their considerations and wants and â€Å"sorts† them as needs be: if the understudies will be appointed 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 conventional and the natural and enter a remarkable and new â€Å"other† world. In both Hogwarts and Narnia, perusers are welcome to suspend faith in the common and accept rather in the powerful. For instance, the characteristic laws of gravity are challenged 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 normal laws are broken or suspended, in any case, there are otherworldly laws that never change regardless of what world the youngsters are in. Like all principles in reality, there is defying of these guidelines 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 youngsters, results of disrupting guidelines are appeared however they don't lecture about them; a considerable lot of the challenges characters experience are made by, or confused by, falsehoods or law breaking (Griesinger, 2002). End In spite of the fact that there are not many allegations that anecdotes about enchantment could open small kids to the universe of mysterious, individuals could outline dependable 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 savvy wizard, while the Pevensie youngsters in Narnia figured out how to acknowledge how the outcomes of Edmund's bad form. Taking everything into account, The Lion, Witch and The Wardrobe and Harry Potter prevailing with regards to making equal endeavors to establish the contrast between the â€Å"real† from the â€Å"fantasy† world. Both are reinforcing to any reader’s minds, which the youngsters who peruse or hear the tales could base their own creative mind by identifying with what Lewis and Rowling had shared through their accounts.
