People relate to fantasy because I believe that when one gets
caught up in a fantasy story; they are able to look past the magic and impossible
rules of that given reality, and see the parallels that storyline has with
their own life. Furthermore, one can get
attached to whatever the given challenge the main character or characters are
given throughout the story. They might perceive
these challenges as the ones they face in their life, perhaps as a way to solve
their real life problems; or to contrast these stories might provide an escape
from ones everyday life. These stories
are often describing worlds of vast wonder and even highlight some of the
traits of a fantasy world that people may wish were part of their reality. For example: the ability to have a sword
capable of cutting through almost anything, or traveling faster than the speed
of light. These are things that I would
like to think many people have considered being capable of accomplishing such
tasks as just a part of life. Perhaps in
being able to temporarily escape from reality in these fantasy worlds people
are able to find peace going throughout their days as well. By this I mean that due to having an outlet,
in this case being sucked into a fantasy world keeps their daily lives more tolerable. In this world we can have many outlets and
ways to make us feel alive, for some, fantasy stories are just what we need, an
escape into another world.
