Fantasy in literature, correct me please! :) Hello! Let us speak about the presence of fantasy in literature. In what way can we analyse the presence of the fantasy references or situations in literature? To answer, we could take "Where's the poet" written by John Keats, "The cat and the moon" written by William Butler Yeats in 1919, and "The tempest" written by William Shakespeare in 1611. The muses are fantastic figures, by helping the poet they give him a hind of innate talent for art. I’d even say that by saying that the poet is “an equal” to the king as well as to the poorest beggar. Meaning that he’s got a kind of mental connection with the rest of the world due to his extreme sensibility. A little bit as a magic , divine gift. In fact when we think of it, there would be a simple way to define it = it’s the fact of bringing an object from an imaginary world, space (being the artist mind) into our material world as poem, a piece of music or a drawing so that everybody else can feel it too. Maybe that’s what the connection with the world is about. And doesn’t it remind you of some magic powers or magic tricks? Here, the only difference is that the poet or even each artist's mind is the hat while each piece of art is the rabbit. That’s probably thanks to this connection with everyone that we use to say that art is an universal language. Again, I find this idea of connection in the cat and the moon speaking about a cat being connected to the moon thanks to some moonlight’s effect: “the pure cold light in the sky troubled his animal blood”. Also, the relationship between a cat and a moon in itself seems mystical as those two are opposed. The moon is white, the cat is black. Their link is made through the changing shape of the moon. And we must not forget that William Butler Yeats wrote “the cat and the moon” to speak about an unilateral love he felt towards a women whose the daughter had a black cat called Minnaloushe !

 [ Merveilleusement écrit!!
 And this not an hour after a big arguement with my brother about … poetry!  I am NOT a poetic soul, BUT, I can allow for it and even admire it in others.  NOT my dear brother; he has NO use for poetry, almost considers it fraud!!  He is actually VERY intelligent - and caring, both in his own way.  A way however, devoid of poetry, and with such verbose animosity, I find it hard not to grin.   I feel that my poor brain has been stretched through the full spectrum tonight.
 Lest you think mon frère a total beast, une bête horrible; at his work, if he notices someone is having a really bad day, he brings them milk & cookies.  He has done it for over a decade, for the floor sweeper, for the CEO and anyone in between who is in need.  He really has a big heart, albeit one without poetry … ]

Hello!

 

Here we will speak about the presence of fantasy in literature. How can we analyse the presence of the fantasy references or situations in literature? We can disect "Where's the poet" written by John Keats, "The cat and the moon" written by William Butler Yeats in 1919, and "The tempest" written by William Shakespeare in 1611.

The muses are fantastic figures, and by helping the poet they give him a hind of innate talent for art. I would even say that by stating that the poet is an equal both to the king and the poorest beggar. A poet has a kind of mental connection with the rest of the world due to his extreme sensibility. It seems almost like magic, or a divine gift.  There is a simple way to define it: it is the fact of bringing an object from an imaginary world (being the artist mind) into our material world as poem, a piece of music, or a drawing so that everybody else can feel it too...maybe that is what the connection with the world is about (I digress). And does it not it remind you of some magic powers or magic tricks? The only difference is that the artist's mind is the hat while each piece of art is the rabbit. That is probably due to the way that art connects us all through a universal language.


I find this idea of connection in the cat and the moon speaking about a cat being connected to the moon thanks to some moonlight’s effect: “the pure cold light in the sky troubled his animal blood”. Also, the relationship between a cat and a moon in itself seems mystical as those two are opposed. The moon is white, the cat is black. Their link is made through the changing shape of the moon. And we must not forget that William Butler Yeats wrote “the cat and the moon” to speak about an unilateral love he felt towards a women whose the daughter had a black cat called Minnaloushe !

To answer, we could take "Where's the poet" written by John Keats, "The cat and the moon" written by William Butler Yeats in 1919, and "The tempest" written by William Shakespeare in 1611 as references. (I forgot "as references".)
